The Delhi government has launched a massive campaign aimed at reducing air pollution. Under this campaign, illegal industries are being identified and strict action is being taken against them through all the District Magistrates of Delhi. Giving this information, Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that this step is an important initiative towards controlling the increasing air pollution in the capital.
Crackdown on illegal industries
Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that a big survey is going on in Delhi, through which the industries operating illegally are being detected. Instructions have been given to close these industries and take action against them as per rules. He emphasized that the main objective of this campaign is to improve the air quality of Delhi, which continues to be a matter of concern.
Air pollution is a cross-border problem and coordination with neighboring states is necessary to control it effectively. Keeping this in mind, the Delhi government is also contacting the neighboring states. The goal is to ensure that the air quality index of neighboring states also comes down, thereby reducing pollution levels in the entire region. This collaborative approach may prove to be more effective in tackling pollution in Delhi and surrounding areas.

Burning of biomass banned and electric heaters distributed
Other sources of pollution are also being focused on. In particular, measures are being taken to prevent stubble burning or other biomass burning practices in farms. As an important step in this direction, the Delhi government has distributed 10,000 electric heaters so far. These heaters aim to provide farmers and others with an alternative to burning biomass, thereby reducing emissions of harmful smoke into the atmosphere.
