Focus on winter air pollution Highlights from the Air Pollution Mitigation Plan 2025
The Delhi government has finalised a 25-point “Winter Action Plan’ to combat air pollution from October to February, environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced on Thursday.
The plan, drawn from the Air Pollution Mitigation Plan 2025, focuses on seven areas — dust control, vehicular emissions, industrial regulation, waste management, and citizen participation.
The key measures in the plan include the deployment of 86 mechanical sweepers, 300 sprinklers and 362 anti-smog guns to curb dust; 578 enforcement teams to check vehicular pollution; six new air-quality monitoring stations to be operational by March 2026; and a pilot cloud-seeding project to help disperse smog.
Sirsa said the plan would be enforced “with vigour” through coordination between multiple civic and government agencies and Delhi Police. “The goal is to ensure that pollution levels remain under control even when meteorological conditions are adverse,” he said.
