Delhi MCD Enhances Dust Mitigation and Enforcement to Address Air Pollution
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has intensified efforts to reduce air pollution by implementing dust mitigation measures, deep cleaning roads, and enforcing regulations across all 12 zones. The MCD designated 250 sites for construction and demolition waste dumping, with Standard Operating Procedures to control dust emissions, including dust walls, wetting materials, and covered transport vehicles. Installation of 360-degree cameras enables round-the-clock monitoring, while Joint Enforcement Teams address violations such as biomass burning and illegal dumping to strengthen compliance.
