Delhi govt chalks out 21-point Winter Action Plan

In a proactive response to the perennial issue of air pollution, particularly during the winter months, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has announced a robust 21-point Winter Action Plan.

Environment minister Gopal Rai presented the plan, emphasising the government's commitment to ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for the residents of Delhi.

The theme for this year's campaign is "Milkar Chale, Pradushan Se Lade" (Let's unite to fight pollution), a reflection of the collaborative spirit the government aims to foster among citizens. Minister Rai stated: "Due to the hard work of Delhiites and concerned departments, air pollution levels in Delhi have decreased by about 34.6 per cent. This time too, Delhi is fully prepared to tackle winter pollution."

A significant innovation introduced this year is the use of drones to monitor pollution levels at 13 identified hotspots across the city. "For the first time, the Environment Department will use drones to monitor pollution at these hotspots. Drones will identify the sources of pollution, and actions will be taken accordingly," Rai explained.
