Gurugram Residents and Societies Use Anti-Smog Guns and Sprinklers Amid Rising Pollution
In Gurugram, worsening air pollution has led luxury residential societies and residents to install anti-smog guns, rooftop sprinklers, and water-spraying systems using treated sewage water to improve air quality. Many have also fitted air purifiers indoors. Despite these efforts, 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 effective government action despite the city's economic contributions.
