Delhi Launches AI-Enabled Command Centre for Real-Time Pollution Monitoring
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) to monitor pollution sources across the city, especially construction sites and open burning. The AI-driven centre enables real-time surveillance, data analysis, and inter-departmental coordination to identify pollution hotspots and enforce measures like mechanical road sweeping and vehicle emission checks. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa highlighted the use of body cameras for inspectors and integration with traffic management systems. The initiative aims to strengthen pollution control ahead of winter.
