Pune deploys sensors at construction sites
The city's municipal team has rolled out sensor monitors at large construction sites to keep tabs on dust and harmful particles.
Ganesh Sonune, deputy commissioner and head of the civic disaster management cell, shared that their clean-air portal helps monitor sensors, violations and zone-wise performance.
Local wards like Kothrud-Bavdhan and Dhankawdi-Katraj-Ambegaon have also been selected for state-level awards under Category 1, but challenges like vehicle emissions and road dust are still works in progress.
