Delhi has tightened rules for dust control by mandating that all construction and demolition sites use green nets with a minimum thickness of 100 GSM. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee took action after findings that many existing nets were too thin to effectively block dust. The new standard aims to reduce citywide air pollution caused by construction activity.
Delhi is set to expand its air quality monitoring network with 13 new stations this year. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee will develop 10, targeting October for operations, while the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology will manage three more. The move is designed to improve pollution data collection across the city for better tracking and response.
