Delhi govt meets to discuss tackling pollution in hotspots
Delhi's Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa just led a meeting with top city officials to tackle air pollution in 13 of the city's worst-hit areas.
He made it clear he wants real action—not just more advisories—and has asked for weekly progress updates so everyone stays accountable.
Hotspots like Anand Vihar, Okhla Industrial Area to be monitored
Hotspots like Anand Vihar and Okhla Industrial Area will now see tighter monitoring.
The plan includes more water sprinkling, fixing potholes, cracking down on open burning, and controlling dust from construction.
The status of mechanical street cleaning, anti-smog gun deployment, and real-time emission checks is also being reviewed.
Officials are expected to work together closely, with stricter penalties for repeat violators and a progress report due next week.
