Ahead of the winter season, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has asked the Delhi Government to take action to curb the pollution emanating from construction and demolition activities and open garbage dumping .
“It is observed that construction and demolition activities and open dumping of waste/garbage continue to be the major concern in most of the areas and therefore, special efforts are needed to curb these activities. Some tasks to curb air pollution in Delhi have been accomplished but more needs to be done,” the CPCB said in a letter to the State Government.
