Delhi PWD to Deploy 200 Anti-Smog Guns for Winter Dust Control
Delhi's Public Works Department plans to hire 200 truck-mounted anti-smog guns to control dust pollution during the winter season. These machines, equipped with water tanks and cameras, will be deployed on roads and construction sites to spray atomised water, settling dust and PM 2.5 particles. The PWD will also conduct a deep cleaning drive across its 1,400-km road network, including debris removal and coordination with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, following Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's directive to strengthen pollution monitoring.
