Day there will be clouds, we will get seeding done: Sirsa on Delhi's artificial rain plan
The Daily Guardian
|October 22, 2025
As the national capital grapples with ‘very poor’ air quality, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Tuesday reaffirmed the BJP government's plan for artificial rain through cloud seeding.
However, the minister did not immediately announce a plan for cloud seeding, saying that it is only possible “when there are clouds.”
“For those who are asking us, why are we not getting cloud seeding done. I want to tell them that in cloud seeding, the cloud comes first and then comes seeding. Seeding can only be done when there are clouds. The day there will be clouds, we will get seeding done and there will be rain as well,” Sirsa said during a press conference.
Delhi woke up to a thick smog on Tuesday morning, as the air quality deteriorated to the ‘Very Poor’ category. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 351 as of 4 pm today.
