Delhi to hire 200 anti-smog guns for winter
Delhi's gearing up for winter by hiring 200 truck-mounted anti-smog guns, aiming to clear the air when pollution spikes.
The move—approved by a departmental order from the PWD—will see these high-powered sprayers deployed across all 11 PWD zones from October, with a budget of ₹5.88 crore.
These machines spray super-fine water droplets
These machines spray super-fine water droplets up to 50 meters, rotating widely to catch more dust and particles.
They're part of a bigger plan that includes sweeping streets and stricter construction rules, all meant to give some quick relief when Delhi's air turns "very poor."
While big buildings are supposed to have rooftop smog guns too, only a handful actually do so far.
These guns might not fix everything overnight
If you're in Delhi during winter, you know how bad the air can get.
These anti-smog guns might not fix everything overnight, but they're one step toward making it less tough to breathe—and that matters for everyone living or studying in the city.
