In a surprising turn of events, Delhi finds itself embroiled in a political storm over a failed cloud-seeding experiment intended to induce rain and combat pollution.
The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) has lodged a police complaint, claiming a 'theft of rain' and accusing the BJP-led government of misleading the public.
Despite official claims of trial success, the opposition is demanding accountability for the public funds used in the purportedly ineffective initiative.
