Express Investigation: How MCD Is Sweeping Delhi Dust| Air Pollution| Delhi-NCR

Express Investigation: The investigation revealed that air pollution in Delhi NCR is a year-round issue, not just during winter months. Road dust, neglected as a major contributor, peaks at 50-55% in summers and 30-34% in winters. Delhi's current strategy, using 76 ...

mechanized road sweeping machines (MRSMs) and 59,000 sanitation workers, is insufficient. Only 50-56% of road dust is covered, with zones like Najafgarh neglected. MRSMs face operational challenges due to poor road conditions and maintenance issues. The dust collected is mixed with legacy waste, compromising scientific disposal. The budget for procurement is known, but the overall budget for dust management remains unallocated.
