Green Delhi app now available on iOS
Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday said the government has identified 150 air pollution hotspots compared to 13 last year. These points will be strictly monitored, he said.
He added that a “Green War Room” — from where authorities will be monitoring air pollution and coordinating with other departments — will function 24x7 during winter.
“The results of the Green Delhi app since its launch last year have been appreciable. We received 27,000 complaints, of which more than 23,000 complaints have been successfully resolved. We have been receiving most of the complaints from three departments — municipal corporation, DDA, and PWD. Thirteen hotspots were marked for high levels of pollution. The process of working with the Green Delhi app for about a year has enabled us to mark 150 such hotspots now,” Mr. Rai said.
