Delhi's Public Works Department plans to hire 200 truck-mounted anti-smog guns to control dust pollution on roads across the national capital during the winter season, officials said on Wednesday. The machines will also be deployed at construction sites and other areas as part of steps to curb air pollution.
The move follows Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's recent direction to strengthen monitoring ahead of winter. Officials said the PWD also plans a special drive for deep cleaning and dust control across its 1,400-km road network.
