Delhi Enhances Pollution Enforcement Amid Severe Air Quality Concerns
Delhi authorities are intensifying efforts to combat worsening air quality, which recently reached the severe category with AQI surpassing 400. The government has deployed over 300 joint enforcement teams called 'Vayu Rakshak,' equipped with GPS and soon body-worn cameras to monitor pollution violations and improve accountability. Nodal officers have inspected pollution hotspots in areas like Punjabi Bagh and East Delhi, reviewing control measures and directing agencies to address deficiencies. These actions aim to curb pollution from sources such as dust, vehicular emissions, waste burning, and construction activities.
