After the implementation of GRAP-1 in delhi NCR, it is being said that the rules will be strictly implemented, but the reality in noida Greater noida is that heaps of dust and mud are seen on the sides of the roads. Which are flying with the wind and increasing pollution. Here neither water is being sprayed nor any attempt has been made to cover them.
Let us tell you that the builders' organization CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India) has also appealed to the builders in delhi NCR to keep anti-smog guns at their construction sites within 500 meters so that dust can be prevented from flying by sprinkling water from time to time. Although work is closed at most of the builders' sites in noida Greater noida, but where work is going on, anti-smog guns were found deployed at some places and not at some places.
It is mandatory to install anti-smog guns on construction sites
However, during a special conversation with ABP News, Utsav Sharma, regional officer of the pollution department, said that it is mandatory to install anti-smog guns on construction sites larger than 500 meters. Also, a ban has been imposed on setting up tandoors in the open. Not only this, after the smoke from vehicles, if there is any cause of pollution in noida and Greater noida, then it is dust because dust flies with the wind and increases pollution further.
If the officials of the pollution department are to be believed, the most dust flies in noida Extension. The pollution department has also identified more than 30 spots in the entire district. They also monitor them, but when pollution is caused by the dust lying on the roadside, when we investigated whether the responsible departments are taking any concrete steps to prevent this or not, the pictures were completely different.
