Delhi seeks ₹1,000 crore for air quality improvement
Delhi is seeking ₹1,000 crore from the central government to help roll out new technology aimed at cleaning up the city's air.
Ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh and Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced the proposal at Nehru Park, showing Delhi is serious about finding smarter ways to tackle pollution.
Plan to install large air purifiers in busy areas
The plan includes installing large air purifiers—each covering 600 square meters—across busy areas.
These will be funded through CSR partnerships with companies, so it won't all fall on government budgets.
Meanwhile, a study at Nehru Park is testing what really works to bring AQI down where people need it most.
Recent rains have made Delhi's air cleaner
Recent rains have made Delhi's air cleaner, and spots like Alipur and Anand Vihar have shown improved AQI values, but officials say long-term solutions are key.
The government hopes these new steps will keep the improvements going even after the weather shifts.
