00:00all right we have news coming in artificial drains in delhi on diwali day cloud seeding
00:12in delhi on diwali or day after is what we are learning top court has allowed green crackers
00:16on diwali that's the information that we have at this hour listen in from delhi's environment
00:23minister
00:53green signal
00:53in the next two days, three days
00:55so
00:57it will blast
00:59the cloud seeding
01:03will also
01:03take a sample
01:05from the next two days
01:07Amit Bhardwaj is with us for the very latest on that
01:09Amit you know this doesn't really solve
01:11the problem of lingering
01:12air pollution in Delhi
01:14in these pollution months
01:16of course it's a stop gap sort of an arrangement
01:18isn't it the data to support
01:20the cloud seeding is helping
01:22in long term pollution mitigation
01:24is actually missing
01:26well Sneha you know what
01:32we are looking at the plan of cloud seeding
01:34and artificial rain is actually
01:36an emergency measure
01:37that even Amit Bipati government back in the day
01:40used to speak about they were never able
01:42to implement it
01:43claiming that permissions were not
01:46given by the central agencies as
01:48required but with change
01:50in power in the national capital
01:52in the government in Delhi
01:54what Manjinder Singh Sirsa
01:56the minister in Delhi is claiming
01:57at this point in time
01:58that all required permissions
02:01have been given
02:01they have acquired those permissions
02:03the pilots have been trained
02:04the area has been identified
02:06and the moment you have
02:07the cloud
02:08or the climatic conditions
02:10favorable climatic conditions
02:11the artificial rain
02:12can happen in Delhi
02:14post Diwali
02:15but having said that
02:16you are absolutely right
02:18as far as the idea of cloud seeding
02:20is concerned
02:20it's an emergency measure
02:22stop gap measure
02:24and not an ideal way
02:27to deal with the pollution problem
02:29that the national capital
02:30or rather the NCR region
02:33battles with
02:33it will give us temporary relief
02:35and possibly also
02:37after more so after Diwali
02:39when you might see surge
02:41in firecracker bursting
02:43with Diwali festivities
02:45and the weather conditions
02:46already not being
02:48very favorable
02:49because if you look at the data
02:51that's changing every day
02:52as far as the AQI data
02:54of the central government
02:55is concerned
02:55the past week
02:56you had
02:57the AQI below 100
02:59and now suddenly
03:00we are sitting on a situation
03:01where
03:02gap measure work
03:03has been already implemented
03:04so this could
03:05give us a
03:06slight relief
03:07from this situation
03:08but certainly not
03:09a long term
03:10solution
03:10absolutely
03:10settle down the dust
03:11at least for a few hours
03:13but that is it
03:14isn't it Amit
03:14leaving it at that
03:15for the moment
