Construction sites to be now equipped with real time pollution sensors for monitoring

Delhi | Wednesday | 4th August, 2021

Summary:

Following the recommendations, the Delhi government has issued guidelines for the construction sites which have to be adhered to. The committee has recommended a tighter monitoring mechanism for better environmental compliance and controlling dust emissions from large construction and demolition sites. "Day Night Digital Boards" should be set up outside construction sites to inform the neighbourhood about the status of the ambient air quality. Once the guidelines are issued all construction sites will be given 60 days to ensure that all the rules are being followed. The committee in its recommendations has asked the government to enforce strict dust emissions standards at construction sites and monitor violations at construction and demolition sites..
