Cloud seeding is an SOS measure for extreme pollution, according to IIT-Kanpur Director Manindra Agrawal. The technique uses minute chemical quantities and is not harmful to humans or the environment. Recent trials in Delhi provided valuable data for future operations. The exercise was paused due to insufficient cloud moisture. The technology developed at IIT-Kanpur is indigenous.
