Rai is making a surprise visit to the construction site to check compliance such as covering the area, the installation of smog gun and sprinkling water to control the dust spread through the air.
He has found various violations during his visit on the construction site in Pragati Maidan after that tight action was taken against the company concerned.
Rai said the Delhi pollution control committee team was checking the construction site at the district level.
He urged all private institutions and the government to follow anti-dust norms to help Delhi win it against pollution.
