However, these promising results are one component of a broader and holistic framework addressing pollution from multiple angles, including strict enforcement, mechanical road sweeping, vehicular emission checks and waste management initiatives, it added.

"Science-driven policy is at the heart of Delhi's clean air mission. Even with low cloud moisture levels, the trial yielded measurable Particulate Matter (PM) reductions. Yet, our efforts do not rely solely on a single intervention -- we combine technology with continuous civic eng
