25 more spots in city to get mist sprayers
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 01, 2025
The Delhi government has identified more than 25 locations where mist sprayers will be installed on electric poles to control dust pollution, environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has said.
The installation, which will be done in six months, will take place in three phases. A few of the identified locations include Connaught Place and Khan Market, Sirsa said.
The plan is an extension of a project completed at Lodhi Road last month. Under it, mist sprayers were installed on 15 poles on a 550-metre road stretch. The minister said work is already underway on a 900-metre stretch on Shanti Path and an 850-metre stretch on Africa Avenue.
The Delhi LG had launched a similar pilot in Dwarka last December.
