Kuljeet Singh Chahal mentioned that the project is currently in its initial phase and is expected to be implemented next year, with plans to complete the work within a set timeline.
As part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Ease of Living mission, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has announced the installation of "Mist Sprayers" on electric poles to combat rising air pollution and maintain a clean, green, and beautiful NDMC area, according to Vice Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal on Monday.
Kuljeet Singh Chahal stated that under PM Modi's leadership, efforts have been directed towards enhancing urban living standards and implementing the Ease of Living mission in a structured manner. The NDMC's initiative is a significant step towards making the area pollution-free, noted the statement from the council.
In the first phase, 15 mist sprayers will be installed on electric poles along a 500-metre stretch of Lodhi Road. Each pole will feature five nozzles, with each nozzle having six spray holes, resulting in 30 spray points per pole. The system will use 81 litres of water per pole per hour of operation. To support this, four tanks with a capacity of 5,000 litres each will be installed, utilising treated water from sewage treatment plants (STPs) to conserve fresh water.
