New Delhi, Nov 22
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that the government is making continuous efforts to control pollution and launched a drive to distribute 10,000 electric heaters to watchmen of RWAs to prevent wood or coal burning during winter.
“We aim to ensure that in no block or locality do watchmen or residents burn wood or coal, which contributes to pollution. We hope to make all RWAs aware and motivate them to ensure that no wood or coal is burned in their areas. By providing electric heaters, we want to support our watchmen and offer them a cleaner alternative, helping reduce pollution across Delhi," she said during an event at Dilli Haat, Pitampura.
“Mountains of garbage are continuously decreasing, cleanliness and tree plantation campaigns are ongoing without interruption, road water sprinkling and mechanical sweeping have been made more effective,” she said.
The Chief Minister also sought public participation, saying, “The participation of all of us is the most effective means of success in this battle against pollution.”
