Connaught Place and Khan Market are among the major places in Delhi where the government will soon put ‘Mist Sprayer’ on electric poles under a phased project to deal with dust pollution. In this regard, an official said that under this initiative 24 roads and many other areas will be covered. It will cost more than Rs 19 crore and will be implemented in three phases.

Misting system will be installed on 10 major roads

An official said that the objective of this initiative is to reduce the impact of dust pollution in the national capital. According to the official, under the first phase of the project, the government’s body agency is planning to install ‘Misting System’ to deal with dust on 10 major roads including Barakhamba Road, Ferozeshah Road, Sikandra Road and Bhagwan Das Road.

These routes are included in the first phase

The longest routes under the first phase include Temple Marg, Tilak Marg and Subramaniam Bharti Marg. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, “This expansion will be completed before the start of winter in the next three-four months.”

Second phase includes 14 additional roads

Along with this, he said, “Following the instructions of the Supreme Court, the government is making every effort to reduce poisonous air pollution for the residents in the national capital. We have also directed that all identified ‘hotspots’ (important places) be worked out. ”The second phase of the project will include 14 additional roads including Shahjahan Road, Aurobindo Marg, Mother Teresa Crescent and Ashok Road.

Water spraying occurs under a mistress system

Under the ‘Misting System’, a fine spray of water is sprayed through ‘nozzle’, which makes the surrounding air cold. The dust present in it is suppressed. This improves temperature and improves better air quality.

Politics has intensified due to rain in Delhi and the situation after that. Former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has targeted Rekha Gupta government for waterlogging in Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal wrote on the X handle, “When this is the condition of Delhi’s Dil Connaught Place, it is not difficult to guess the condition of the rest of Delhi. Roads have become ponds in just 10 minutes of rain.” He further wrote, “Where has the BJP brought Delhi in 5 months? Is this the pace of the government of ‘4 engine’?”

Life affected due to heavy rains

The continuous rains in the entire NCR including Delhi since Tuesday morning have affected life badly. Due to heavy rains, there has been water logging on many roads in Delhi on one side, due to which traffic has been affected very much. At the same time, there has been heavy waterlogging in many places in Noida, which led to a long jam on the roads.

Bad condition on Delhi Noida border

The worst condition of the Kalindi Kunj border linking Noida and Delhi was seen, where long queues of trains were seen on the route leading to Delhi. In the morning, when people came out for office and other tasks, the major intersections, flyovers and routes were seen crawling.

Long jam on Mahamaya

In busy areas like Noida Sector-18, Sector-62, DND flyover and Mahamaya flyover, drivers had to be stuck in jam for hours. Due to heavy rains, waterlogging has been created on many roads, due to which two -wheeler drivers are facing special problems. The pole of drainage system has opened once again, because in the lightened rain, the water fills the roads and the drains are overflowed.
