Delhi Launches AI-Based Command Centre for Continuous Air Pollution Monitoring
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) to monitor and address air pollution in the capital, especially ahead of winter. The ICCC uses AI-driven cameras, real-time data, and inter-agency coordination to track pollution sources like construction sites, open burning, and vehicular emissions. The centre also oversees mechanical road sweepers and enforces pollution control measures, including the 'No PUC, No Fuel' policy. Officials equipped with body cameras support enforcement, aiming for continuous, data-driven pollution management.
