Steps being taken to curb air pollution

In light of the fluctuating air quality, the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP-1) remains in effect across Delhi. The initiative includes a series of proactive measures aimed at mitigating pollution:

  • Regular cleaning of roads and water sprinkling to minimise dust.
  • Dust suppression strategies implemented at construction sites.
  • Stringent checks on polluting vehicles coupled with improved traffic management.
  • Emission control measures targeted at industries, power plants, and brick kilns.
  • A ban on open waste burning and restrictions on diesel generators, alongside prohibiting coal and firewood in eateries.
  • Utilization of apps like 311, Green Delhi, and Sameer for reporting pollution-related concerns.
  • Encouraging offices to adopt integrated transport options to alleviate traffic congestion.
  • Advising residents to celebrate festivals in eco-friendly ways and to avoid fireworks.
