Civic bodies intensify dust mitigation, crack down on waste burning

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has implemented new measures to control dust pollution, including water sprinkling and the use of mechanical road sweepers. The MCD has deployed teams to monitor open burning, illegal waste dumping, and dust on roads. The Public Works Department has provided anti-smog guns to help with pollution control. The MCD has also re-carpeted roads and is working on bioremediation of landfill waste. The New Delhi Municipal Council has implemented similar measures and is monitoring road conditions and issuing fines for construction sites.
