Celebrating Wild Caraway: Taste of Nova Scotia's Restaurant of the Year | SaltWireNEW DELHI - Indian scientists plan to seed clouds for the first time to trigger heavy rain in some areas of New Delhi, hoping this will be enough to tackle the smog gripping the world's most polluted capital for a week, the project's head said on Thursday.

The project, estimated to cost 10 million rupees for 100 square kilometres , would involve spraying into clouds a mix of salts that include silver iodine, Agrawal said. The air quality index in the city was 506 early on Thursday, which is categorised as"hazardous" by Swiss group IQAir. "So unless a huge pressure is established by intense rain, this chain of transport from Punjab to Delhi will not be broken, and once it is broken it is difficult for the chain to form again for some time," he told Reuters.
