Gurugram, Nov. 9 -- At a review meeting on Saturday, Gurugram deputy commissioner (DC) Ajay Kumar issued directions to several departments to strengthen implementation measures for air pollution control. The orders followed a video conference chaired by Rajesh Verma, chairman of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), and Haryana chief secretary Anurag Rastogi. The meeting focused on strict enforcement of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap), after which Kumar reviewed the city's pollution status and issued detailed instructions to ensure 100% compliance with Grap-II guidelines. He directed that all construction sites must have green nets, dust control equipment, and regular water sprinkling to curb dust emissions. Construction projects covering more than 500 square meters must be registered on the online dust portal for effective monitoring. Burning of any kind of waste or refuse remains strictly prohibited, and "immediate action must be taken against violators," he said. Kumar instructed the transport department to intensify checks on diesel buses and heavy vehicles entering from other states and to issue challans against those violating emission norms. Gurugram and Manesar municipal corporations were told to conduct regular water sprinkling on main roads and green belts, and to enhance the use of anti-smog guns to suppress airborne dust. The DC also asked the pollution control board to continuously monitor industrial units and act against those not meeting emission standards. Emphasising joint accountability, Kumar said, "Administrative efforts will only succeed when citizens participate actively. "...
