Delhi Government Trials Innovative Technologies to Reduce Air Pollution Year-Round

The Delhi government has begun field trials of innovative air-cleaning technologies across the city to address pollution year-round. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, inspected pilot projects including 21 filterless air purifiers on Satguru Ram Singh Marg, an electric vehicle-mounted anti-smog gun, and the PAWAN III pollution control device near Kirti Nagar Fire Station. These technologies, selected through an Innovation Challenge with IIT Delhi's support, aim to reduce particulate matter and vehicular emissions, with potential for wider deployment if successful.
