Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday said the Delhi government will begin construction of nearly 400 km of roads to curb dust once the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) is lifted.
Under GRAP, a short-term emergency measure, construction activities are prohibited.
Ms. Gupta said that these roads will be constructed wall-to-wall, eliminating dust generated by road edges.
“Along with road construction, the Delhi Government is installing mist spray systems on the central verges to bring down dust particles,” the CMO said in a statement.
Ms. Gupta said that currently, around 340 mist spray systems are operational, and their coverage is being expanded in a phased manner.
