India's government has taken decisive action to address the deteriorating air quality in New Delhi, the world's most polluted capital. In response to the worsening pollution levels that have disrupted daily life and obscured iconic landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, new measures have been put in place.
These measures include a ban on non-essential construction activities, urging residents to avoid burning coal for heating, and promoting the use of public transport. Additionally, efforts such as sprinkling water with dust suppressants on roads and mechanized sweeping to settle dust will be implemented to mitigate the impact of pollution.
