Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, has outlined fifteen points that will be taken into account during the upcoming winter season in the city to reduce pollution. Kejriwal stated in a press conference that “We have identified thirteen hotspots where pollution is high and an action plan has been made for each hotspot as well as a war room.” Additionally, thirteen special teams have been formed. We used bio-decomposer to prevent stubble burning on 4400 acres last year, and we’ll use it on 5,000 acres this year.

“To reduce dust pollution, 591 teams have been formed to monitor construction sites. Sites more than 500 square meters will have to register on the web portal and it will be mandatory for sites more than 5000 square meters to install anti-smog guns” the Chief Minister added.

The Delhi CM added that 258 anti-smog guns will operate on the roads during the winter, 530 water-spraying vehicles have been installed, and 385 teams will monitor the use of old vehicles.

“611 teams will keep an eye on the burning of garbage in the open area. A green war room has been created so that 24-hour surveillance will be maintained. The complaints received on the Green Delhi App are being monitored. About 70,000 complaints have been filed in this matter, of which 90 percent of complaints have been dealt with” Arvind Kejriwal said.”There will be a ban on firecrackers in the city. To increase the green cover, a total of one crore new saplings will be planted, out of which 52 lakh will be planted by the Delhi government,” Kejriwal added.
