Delhi NCR receives light rain; AQI still in ‘severe plus’ category

On Friday morning, as the air quality worsened due to a heavy layer of haze, unexpected rain fell in several parts of Delhi-NCR. The intervening night of Thursday and Friday brought light rain to several parts of Delhi NCR, providing much-needed relief from the capital’s growing air pollution.

Light to moderate rain showers were visible in the images taken from the Kartavya Path and the Delhi-Noida border. As the Delhi government works to implement the concept of “artificial rain” in an attempt to reduce the city’s pollution levels, precipitation has fallen in the nation’s capital.

According to officials, the Delhi government decided on Thursday to use “artificial rain” as a means of reducing air pollution in the city. Concurrently, the government of Delhi has dispatched ministers to guarantee the execution of anti-pollution initiatives.

A number of ministers from Delhi were observed on Thursday conducting inspections of the various border crossings and areas that link Delhi with neighbouring states.

Since the nation’s capital’s air quality fell to the ‘severe plus’ category, Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has been put into place.
