Strict Actions Taken to Stop Pollution in Delhi NCR

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had an important meeting on Thursday. In this, important decisions were taken due to increasing pollution in Delhi NCR. The coming time in view of pollution is very important, so all the departments concerned will be on high alert to prevent stubble burning and pollution. It was decided that Delhi Police will take additional force in the traffic police of NCR and take action on vehicles causing pollution. Traffic will be made easier. Firecrackers are banned in case of pollution. According to the Supreme Court's directive, this ban will be strictly imposed.

Hot mixing plant, construction work will be closed from 6pm to 6 am from 26 to 30 October. These restrictions will apply to Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Sonipat, Bahadurgarh. Industries running from PNG in Delhi will also be closed from October 26 to 30.

The Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality forecast and research service, SAFAR, said,  "The overall air quality of Delhi is in the "very poor" category. The decrease in wind speed has started to negatively influence Delhi's air quality by drastically decreasing ventilation coefficients and thereby effecting dispersion. The fire count in northern India has reduced slightly but is still moderate at 700. However, winds in the boundary layer, where biomass intrusion takes place, are not quite favourable to influence Delhi's air quality significantly for the next two days."
