Delhi’s fight against air pollution is continuing throughout the year, with the government stepping up efforts to improve air quality and public health across the capital.
As part of this campaign, an on-ground inspection of several “Made in India” air purification technologies was conducted on Monday by senior officials, including Cabinet Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and MLA Harish Khurana.
The inspection covered multiple pollution-control systems installed in areas such as Kirti Nagar, Mayapuri, and Sat Guru Ram Singh Marg.
STR 101 Air Purifiers Installed on Sat Guru Ram Singh Marg
A total of 21 STR 101 filterless air purifiers have been installed along Sat Guru Ram Singh Marg as part of the city’s clean air initiative.
According to officials, the self-cleaning systems are designed to control smoke, dust particles, PM2.5, PM10, and other harmful pollutants. Each device is capable of treating nearly three lakh litres of air every hour.
Authorities said the technology has been introduced to reduce pollution levels in busy traffic corridors and improve local air quality.
EV-Mounted Anti-Smog Gun Introduced in Kirti Nagar and Mayapuri
Delhi has also deployed India’s first zero-emission EV-mounted anti-smog gun in the Kirti Nagar and Mayapuri areas.
The moving anti-smog system is aimed at controlling dust pollution generated from roads and construction activity. Since the system runs on an electric vehicle platform, it operates without adding emissions to the environment.
Officials stated that the initiative is expected to help create cleaner road corridors while improving visibility and breathing conditions in high-traffic areas.
PAWAN III Device Targets Vehicular Pollution
Another pollution-control technology, the PAWAN III device, has been installed near the Kirti Nagar Fire Station.
The system is designed to capture and treat vehicular emissions directly at the source. During field trials, the device reportedly showed a reduction of nearly 29 percent in particulate pollution levels.
The latest installations are part of Delhi’s broader year-round anti-pollution strategy focused on reducing dust, smoke, and vehicle emissions across the city.
