The Delhi government will for the first time install 32 water quality monitoring stations at the Yamuna and city's drains for obtaining real-time pollution data for quick intervention, officials aware of the matter said on Thursday.
NEW DELHI:
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), which will oversee the process, will award a tender worth ₹22 crore for installing 18 stations at major drains, and the remaining at various points of the Yamuna.
The project is likely to be completed towards the end of the year, environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said.
"The tender for this was floated earlier and is now in the final stages. Bids have been received and it will soon be awarded," he said.
Experts appreciated the move but said that once these stations are operational only then will their use be identified.
