Rajasthan launches first-ever drone cloud seeding experiment for rain. Key details
Rajasthan is rolling out something new today, India's first drone cloud seeding trial near Ramgarh Dam in Jaipur. Starting at 2 pm, Agriculture Minister Kirodi Lal Meena will launch a one-of-its-kind pilot where 60 drones release rain-making chemicals into seeding isn't magic, it's a method that helps clouds with enough moisture release rain by injecting particles like silver iodide or salt. Traditionally, aircraft have done this. Today's experiment brings in drones, offering sharper control and quicker pilot is a joint effort between the Rajasthan Agriculture Department and US-Bengaluru firm GenX AI, using AI to steer each drone precisely. It's especially useful for arid areas like Rajasthan that find monsoon clouds but often miss out on rain where it's needed. The event was planned for July 31, but heavy rain warnings pushed it back to today. In the meantime, scientists have been carrying out test runs in Jaipur to get things safety checks are in place, a string of approvals from the Agriculture Department, Meteorological Department, District Administration, and the DGCA have already come through. Locals have been invited to watch this live real hope riding on this test. In 2023, a cloud-seeding effort at Chittorgarh's Bhaisunda Dam cost around Rs 10 crore, but failed because moisture was low. If drones can target just the right clouds, this could be a big win for farmers and drought response in Rajasthan.- Ends

MMRDA begins dismantling cycle tracks in Mumbai's BKC to address traffic woes
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) began dismantling the cycle tracks in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and relocating underground utilities last week to make way for an additional car lane as part of a road-widening project. The dismantling and utility shifting work, costing about Rs 25 crore, is being done in view of the worsening traffic situation, particularly after the closure of the Sion bridge. It will expand the current 2+2 lane configuration into 3+3 lanes. The cycle tracks, sanctioned in 2011 for BKC's G-block, were designed as a 13-km network, with work beginning the following year. By 2021, around 9 kilometres had been completed at a cost of nearly ₹60 crore. However, in July, MMRDA decided to remove the tracks entirely within a month, citing the urgent need for additional road space. According to MMRDA, BKC currently handles close to six lakh daily commuters, two lakh employees of the companies, and around four lakh visitors. Officials said the cycle tracks remained largely unused, while vehicle volumes surged well beyond initial projections. 'This change is part of an overall traffic management strategy to ensure smoother vehicular movement and more efficient use of available road space. We are also looking at optimising traffic signal timings and circulation patterns,' an MMRDA officer said on Tuesday. Officials estimate that the travel time during peak hours could fall from 25 minutes to 15 minutes, with signal wait times dropping from 10 minutes to about 7 minutes. Reduced idling is also expected to lower carbon emissions by up to 30 per cent in the area. 'For years, the cycle tracks remained empty while traffic piled up. After the additional lane opens, it should at least ease bottlenecks during rush hours,' the officer said. MMRDA is also working with the Mumbai Traffic Police on a one-way circulation plan for BKC, based on a detailed study of peak-hour movements.
