New Delhi: New constructions in the national capital will not take place without registration on the Delhi Pollution Control Committee’s (DPCC) dust portal. MCD has made it mandatory, which will have to be followed by all the builders before the start of any construction and demolition projects. Without taking approval from DPCC, work on the sites can’t be started. The DPCC has made it clear that no construction will be permitted unless the online registration is complete. The goal of this rule is to overcome dust pollution, which is created during construction, which has been making Delhi’s air quality poor.
 

This rule is part of a bigger plan by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to control pollution from construction sites. Once registered, every site must install 360-degree video cameras and low-cost sensors to measure tiny dust particles in the air. They also need to follow a strict 14-point dust control guide.

By using this portal, officials hope to make it easier to keep an eye on construction sites and ensure they follow the rules. It’s also meant to make developers take pollution control seriously from the very beginning of their projects.

 

This initiative is expected to help in improving the air quality of the city. It is a positive step to curb the pollution levels. Dust particles float in the air due to heavy construction in Delhi, often deteriorating the air quality, which leads to several diseases such as respiratory, heart, and lung infections, and so on.
