Top Scientist Slams Delhi's Cloud Seeding As A 'Ridiculous' Farce | Delhi Air Pollution News Updates
UPDATED: Oct 31, 2025 13:57 IST
This special report examines Delhi's controversial push for cloud seeding to combat air pollution, featuring an in-depth interview with M. Rajeevan, former Secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences. Mr. Rajeevan states that while he avoids certain words for officials, 'scientifically if I am scientist, I will tell at his face. It is a ridiculous way of doing'. The programme explores the scientific reasons why this technique is not viable for mitigating Delhi's pollution, especially in the dry winter season when suitable clouds are absent. The discussion covers the flawed recent trials, the high costs involved, and contrasts this temporary measure with the critical need to address pollution at its source. Mr. Rajeevan reveals he rejected a similar proposal in 2018, emphasizing that science, unlike politics, does not change and that there are no shortcuts to achieving clean air.
