Gurugram Housing Societies Use Anti-Smog Measures Amid Rising Air Pollution
In Gurugram, residents of upscale housing societies are investing in anti-smog guns, rooftop sprinklers, and water-spraying systems to combat worsening air pollution, as government efforts have not fully addressed the issue. Many have also installed air purifiers indoors. The city's Air Quality Index recently reached the 'very poor' category, prompting both private and civic measures like water tanker spraying on roads. Residents express concern over the lack of clean air despite living in luxury complexes.
