Delhi Cabinet likely to approve ₹2,000-crore project to tackle air pollution
Subject : Environment
Section Air Pollution
Context: Delhi government will outsource the operations and management of these machines.
More on the News:
- The Delhi Cabinet is likely to approve a proposal to outsource the operations and management of 70 mechanical road sweepers, 210 water sprinklers and around 250 integrated water sprinklers-cum-anti-smog guns to a private company instead of purchasing them.
- Mechanical road sweepers and sprinklers are believed to be more effective than manual sweeping in reducing dust pollution.
- Anti-smog guns help reduce air pollution by spraying nebulised water droplets through high-pressure propellers. The sprayed water increases the mass of air-borne particles and brings them down to the ground.
- Integrated sprinklers-cum-anti-smog-guns will be mounted on trucks that will also be fitted with water tanks.
