₹15 lakh fines imposed for flouting dust pollution norms

The drive is part of an initiative to combat air pollution by enforcing dust control measures at construction sites. Several teams have been formed to inspect and supervise these sites to ensure compliance.

To further reduce dust from road sweeping, the council has deployed six mechanical sweepers operating in two shifts. "Each day, an average of 227 km is swept, covering all major roads. The sweepers' movements are tracked 24x7 via NDMC's integrated command and control centre," the civic body said in a statement.
