The rain coincides with the Delhi government’s ongoing efforts to conduct artificial rain in order to curb the air pollution choking the city.

On Thursday, the AAP government had decided to carry out the ‘artificial rain’ plan and ministers were also appointed to ensure the anti-pollution measures. Many ministers were also seen making rounds of the city as a part of the implementation process.

Delhi-NCR is currently seeing the implementation of Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) after the national capital’s air quality dropped to the ‘severe plus’ category.
