Delhi Construction Industry Seeks Review of Winter Pollution Restrictions
Delhi's construction industry has raised concerns over the government's new winter pollution action plan, which mandates construction restrictions from November to February regardless of daily pollution levels. Industry bodies like NAREDCO and CII argue that the blanket ban could disrupt livelihoods, delay projects, and strain supply chains. They have urged the government, including Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, to reconsider the measures and adopt a more balanced, consultative approach that protects both air quality and economic interests.
