Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has taken serious note of construction waste as a big contributor to air pollution in Delhi, saying rules to manage and regulate this will be brought within the next 15 days. He stated this during the opening function of the two-day meet of Environment Ministers of all State Governments on Monday.
The Minister said if Delhi Metro can deal with dust pollution so effectively, why can’t others manage itIJ “Huge amount of dust is being generated due to increasing construction work in and around the city, oblivious of the norms and regulations in this regard,” he said. Javadekar said the issue will be discussed in the ongoing meet as the State Government’s concerned are all there on the occasion.
