Delhi saw a significant dip in air pollution levels in the 2022-23 winter season owing to strict implementation of the 15-point action plan and a proactive Graded Response Action Plan.
Addressing a press conference, Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday said that the AAP government in Punjab would scale up the use of bio-decomposer, a microbial solution which can turn paddy straw into manure in around three weeks, in the agrarian state.
He said the Delhi government has created an inventory of dispersed air pollution sources at Anand Vihar, one of the 13 pollution hotspots in Delhi. The project will be scaled up to cover all the pollution hotspots this year. "I want to congratulate the people of Delhi.”
