As the Delhi government explores the possibility of using artificial rain to tackle air pollution, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) chief said the measure will be taken in Mumbai if it is proven effective. “If it is a success in Delhi, we will immediately arrange for it in the city,” Civic Administrator Iqbal Singh Chahal said.

Other measures that have been mooted are setting up jet sprays at the city’s entry points to clean vehicles and a mobile app to keep track of notices and the implementation of guidelines. The civic body also said it is considering serving a stop-work notice to the authorities in charge of the bullet train project as it is responsible for high air pollution at Bandra Kurla Complex. The BMC has been taking several steps to tackle air pollution such as spraying water on roads and penalising errant contractors.
