Delhi Enforces Winter Pollution Controls Amid Ongoing Construction Violations
The Delhi Government's Winter Action Plan, effective from November 1, has led to daily inspections of around 300 construction sites, resulting in fines exceeding Rs 75 lakh for violations including invalid Pollution Under Control Certificates and banned construction activities. Despite deploying over 1,200 personnel from the Delhi Government and Municipal Corporation of Delhi to enforce pollution controls, violations such as ongoing construction, debris dumping, and dust pollution persist. Enforcement teams have issued numerous challans and fines, highlighting challenges in fully curbing pollution sources amid ongoing efforts.
