New Delhi: With the winter approach, Delhi’s anxiety about poisons at the air peaked.
Burning stumps may be a major problem where capital may not have control, but can certainly ensure that construction projects – both government and private – do not vomit dust that only makes the overall picture of Grimmer.
The wavy journey on the stretch of Pragati Maidan, from Minto Bridge to Matka Peer, on Thursday afternoon it seemed that PWD and private concession holders who carry out the development project had lost the need to ensure that dust did not live in the air.
With a very damaged road, commuters are forced to move through dust clouds.
Dust pollution is said to contribute 31 percent of the total 10 load pm in the winter and 16 to 17 percent of PM 2.5 in Delhi, according to data from the 2018 source distribution study, carried out by the energy and resources of the institution.
Dust generally consists of rough particles, leads to a surge in PM 10 concentration during PM 2.5, which is a finer particle.
While the Delhi government has last week warned construction sites in Delhi to correct all violations related to dust within 15 days, roadside dust remained gray area.
There is no step to calm the dust seen in this stretch with every vehicle that passes to stir the cloud of dust.
People on two-wheeled vehicles and traveling with the most affected automatic rickshaw.
“Passing the stretch (on Thursday) is hell.
Because projects under construction, stretches are usually Dustbowl.
Anti-dust steps are not always there.
Authorities must immediately pay attention to him,” said Saroj Kumar, a resident of the nearest area.
Shubho Dutta, who had taken the Autorickshaw to go to his house in Chittaranjan Park, said the dust affected his throat badly, and only his mask gave him protection.
Revamp Maidan Pragati – consists of a tunnel length of 1.2 km from Bhairon Marg to Ring Road and six U round U underground – it is likely to be resolved in stages.
Working in the tunnel is almost complete and the trial test is likely to begin soon.
Tunnels can be opened to the public in November.
The project, which began in November 2017, was designed to reduce traffic congestion in and around the Indian gate, Ring Road and Ito.
A PWD official said the anti-dust measures were always implemented.
Then at night, they had deployed water tankers to make dust settled.
“Those who oversee construction sites have been instructed to ensure that the dust submitted by well-managed construction work and anti-dust steps was taken effectively,” the official said.
The Air Quality Management Commission in NCR (CAQM) on Wednesday identified dust as a major problem in winter and requested road ownership institutions and civil bodies to regulate the ‘dust management cell’.
It suggests road sweeping, disposal of scientific dust collected, the use of dust and water presses on the road and maintenance and reforestation of the road that is not paved and the central threshold.
A senior DPCC official said Dust Management was the main area of ​​the winter action plan with a sprinkling of water to be carried out on all main roads, including stretching where repairs or construction work took place.
“In addition to the construction site where dust norms must be strictly followed, civil bodies and other government institutions will carry out water sprinkling on Jalan Delhi to ensure the increase in dust minimally,” the official said.
