DLF Primus in Sector 82 is carrying out "artificial rain" using sprinklers and water pipes meant to help in firefighting operations to control dust and particulate matter. A video from Thursday shows water raining down on the complex from its towers, which are 32 storeys high.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Achal Yadav, the president of the complex's resident welfare association (RWA), said the measure was taken to ensure the health of residents because pollution cannot be controlled by the government alone. He said the "artificial rain" will be conducted every day if necessary, depending on the AQI.
