VIDEO | Gurugram: Senior chest and thoracic surgeon at Medanta, Arvind Kumar says, "An attempt at artificial rain was made last year as well; lakhs of rupees were spent and cloud seeding was carried out, but those clouds simply drifted away and it did not rain. As a doctor, I want to give a clear-cut message that carrying out artificial rain, sprinkling water all around, and similar actions are all cosmetic measures. For the past 10 years, we have been enduring this pollution problem; for 10 years, this exact same issue occurs in October, November, and December. ...People should realise how severely this pollution is damaging their health, and all 140 crore people should come together and make concerted efforts to reduce it. The solution to the problem of pollution will come through proper long-term measures; sprinkling water or inducing artificial rain are knee-jerk reactions that will not bring any long-term or permanent solution."
