New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has said that air pollution in the national capital is not a problem confined to a couple of months, but a year-round challenge that demands sustained and continuous efforts.<\/p>\n
Addressing the government\u2019s ongoing clean air initiatives, the Chief Minister said the administration is working on multiple levels to improve Delhi\u2019s environment and address pollution at its source.<\/p>\n
\u201cPollution is not just a challenge for two months; it is a task that needs to be addressed throughout the year. Our government is making every possible effort to improve Delhi\u2019s environment and fix the pollution problem,\u201d Delhi CM Gupta said.<\/p>\n
She also noted that the government had sought innovative solutions to tackle air pollution and, in partnership with IIT Delhi, shortlisted three of the most promising projects for implementation in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople came up with new measures to eliminate pollution. In collaboration with IIT Delhi, we selected the best three new projects, and now we are implementing them in Delhi,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Chief Minister said these steps are part of a broader, science-based approach aimed at reducing pollution levels in the capital through technological interventions, improved infrastructure, and long-term environmental planning.<\/p>\n
Delhi continues to face severe air quality issues, particularly during the winter season.<\/p>\n
In response, authorities have intensified anti-pollution measures such as dust suppression drives, road infrastructure upgrades, and pilot projects including cloud seeding and mist-based systems under the city\u2019s wider clean air strategy.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile on April 3, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta unveiled an aggressive and wide-ranging strategy to combat air pollution in the capital, signalling a decisive shift from intent to enforcement.<\/p>\n
Announcing the rollout of the Air Pollution Mitigation Action Plan 2026, she said the initiative builds on the government\u2019s \u2018historic\u2019 Green Budget for 2026-27 and aims to translate clean air goals into measurable outcomes, according to a press release issued by the CMO.
\nThe plan, prepared under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, lays out a structured roadmap for sustainable urban development, with a strong emphasis on accountability, technology and time-bound execution.<\/p>\n
A high-level review meeting regarding the effective control of pollution was held at the \u2018Mukhyamantri Janseva Sadan\u2019, presided over by the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
