Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday flagged off 150 mobile smog guns from the Delhi Secretariat. Two anti-smog-guns are deployed in each of the capital’s 70 assembly constituencies. These guns will be working on an 8-hour shift from 10 am to 6 pm in the regions where the pollution levels are high.
Earlier in a conversation with the media, Gopal Rai said that this year the next day of Diwali witnessed the lowest pollution in the last five years. Sharing the figures of the last five years, Gopal Rai said that this year, there has been a reduction of 30 percent in pollution compared to last year itself.
Gopal Rai said, “the festival of Diwali was celebrated with great pomp yesterday, but I want to congratulate the people of Delhi that due to your efforts, the level of pollution has not increased today compared to every year”. Today is the lowest level of pollution in the last five years. Last year it was 462, which has come down to 323 today, that is, a decrease of about thirty percent. Many climate experts are linking the lower AQI levels of the capital as compared to the last year with the direction of the wind. The reduction in pollution levels in Delhi on the next day of Diwali compared to last year is being linked by many experts to the wind direction.
