Haryana Pollution Board Acts on Dust Violations Amid Gurugram's Air Quality Concerns
The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has taken action against air pollution in Gurugram by issuing closure notices to 225 construction sites for violating dust control norms. Gurugram, identified as Haryana's worst-hit city with 19 pollution hotspots, faces pollution from construction dust, vehicular emissions, and landfill waste. Authorities have set a three-month deadline for agencies to implement corrective measures, including water sprinkling, fines, and mechanical sweeping, as part of a three-stage action plan to improve air quality.
