Attempts to induce rain through cloud seeding in parts of Delhi on Tuesday were "not completely successful" because the moisture content in the clouds was low and the process is not a magic bullet for the problem of pollution, but an SOS solution, IIT Kanpur Director Manindra Agarwal has said. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Tuesday, Agarwal, whose institute is collaborating with the Delhi government to carry out the experiment, also said attempts will be made again on Wednesday, and they are hoping for a better result.  Explaining that the mixture used by the team has only 20% silver iodide and the rest is a combination of rock salt and common salt, Agarwal said 14 flares were fired on Tuesday.  "There hasn't been any rain so far. So, in that sense, it was not completely successful. But, unfortunately, the clouds that are present today do not have very high moisture content. I am told it was only up to 15-20%. So, the possibility of causing rain with such low moi...

The Phase 2 of the nationwide rollout of the Special Intensive Revision or SIR of voter rolls would require no paperwork. The user-friendly format, sources said, has been among the tweaks made in the process because of the lessons from the SIR project in Bihar.

In contrast, voters in Bihar had to submit one of the 11 documents to prove eligibility along with their enumeration forms.  The CEC said approximately 60 to 70 per cent of voters' names have been identified during the mapping of the old and new voter lists.  Voters can also check their names themselves by visiting the Election Commission's website.   Only those whose names an...
