NEW DELHI:To curb rising air pollution in the national capital, the Delhi government on Friday tested 'drone-based mist spraying' at Anand Vihar, one of the city's pollution hotspots.
-
During the testing, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that pollution levels in the hotspots are higher than the average AQI in the capital.
"Today's demonstration at Anand Vihar -- a known pollution hotspot -- aims to address this issue," Rai said.
"Pollution levels are elevated at 13 hotspots across Delhi, and this pilot project allows us to test drone-based mist spraying in areas where conventional anti-smog guns can't reach," the minister said.
