New Delhi: To ensure that the construction of the Central Vista Avenue project does not add air pollution, the contract company has implemented several steps, in addition to the safety of mandatory health and environmental steps, in consultation with the Central Polution Control Agency (CPCB).
This project must be completed by the contractor, Shapoorji Pallonji Engineering and Construction (E & C), before January 26, 2022 so that the Republican Day Parade can take place in Rajpath.

In recent years, Delhi has experienced severe air pollution in November and December when wind speeds reduced.
This period also coincides with burning arrears in side by side, vehicle pollution, etc.
Engineering companies have put up broken wind walls throughout the edges of 3 km from the site.

Eight anti-fog weapons have been installed at Vantage points, which sprouts water droplets on the site.
This not only helps sedimental dust particles, but also wet the soil to avoid further dust creation because of excavation and other construction activities.
Four water tankers have been provided for a sprinkling of regular water so that the dust level is within the limits even though there is a heavy vehicle movement.
Treatment is also taken to limit dust pollution from stone cutting and grinding work.
Slab stone is made wet before cutting or grinding to control the dust generator.
In addition, the cutting machine cover has been made to limit the area of ​​this activity.
Water jet machine is used to cut stones.
Automatic wheel washing facilities have been made at the exit gate and more will be installed in the coming weeks.
Wheel trucks and other vehicles that leave the site cleaned to prevent mud, porridge and other pollutants to end up on the road.
The earth dug is covered correctly before transporting.
The pile of earth dug was stacked with an agricultural net to prevent dust from going up in the air.
To maintain air quality, the company monitors the surrounding air through the NAB accredited agent.
Pocket monitoring meters are being used for daily checks.
Reviews are done regularly and improvisations are carried out based on feedback from stakeholders.
