Delhi launches citywide road radar to curb dust on roads
India
Delhi just rolled out Road RADAR, a citywide effort to spot and fix dust pollution on its 18,000km of roads.
The plan, launched by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, uses tech and daily monitoring to clean up the air and make city life a bit healthier.
Delhi's 13 GPS surveyors report issues
13 GPS-equipped surveyors, one for each district, will check at least 20km of roads every day, flagging trouble spots like unpaved stretches and garbage dumps.
Their findings get reported through an app so agencies can jump in quickly.
Experts are on board but say staying transparent about what's fixed (and what isn't) is key for lasting impact.
Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa calls Road RADAR "This program is an important pillar in that broader strategy."
