For the first time, drone monitoring will be done to address air pollution hotspots in the Capital as part of the city's 21-point Winter Action Plan, expanding from last year's 15-point plan, Rai said
The Minister made the statement in his letters addressed to the presidents of the Delhi unit of BJP and Congress urging them to give any suggestions that could help reduce the city's pollution for incorporation into the Winter Action Plan.
According to the minister, on the suggestion of artificial rain by the experts, a letter will be written to the Union Environment Minister on Friday to hold a meeting with the experts of IIT Kanpur and all the concerned departments.
The Delhi environment minister said a collective effort of the public is pivotal in keeping pollution in check.
Under the Winter Action Plan, from October 10, the Delhi government will start spraying bio-decomposer in the fields of Delhi for the solution of stubble.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced a 15-point Winter Action Plan to combat air pollution in the city.
The Delhi government will soon launch a Jan Abhiyan (a drive with people's support) to keep pollution within manageable limits in the national capital, Kejriwal added.
Arvind Kejriwal appealed to the Centre and states neighboring Delhi to ensure free spraying of bio-decomposer for in-situ management of crop residue as his government was doing in the national capital.
