The Morning Standard
|June 17, 2025
A proposal to combat dust pollution in the capital, approved by the cabinet last month, is set to cost a total of ₹2,388 crore over the next ten years.
The Public Works Department (PWD) will spearhead the project, which includes large-scale deployment of mechanical road sweeping and water sprinkling systems aimed at improving Delhi's ambient air quality.
The initiative falls under the broader 'Pollution Control and Emergency Measures' scheme approved last month by the Delhi Cabinet in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. Of the total budget, ₹1,158 crore has been earmarked for the hiring of 250 water sprinkler vehicles equipped with anti-smog guns.
