New Delhi, December 9: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Wednesday inaugurated a truck-mounted anti-smog gun to combat the worsening dust pollution in the national capital, where the air quality has been in the unhealthy category all through the winter. The anti-smog gun is fed by a 5,000-litre water tank and can work for 3-4 hours continuously.
It is mounted on a BS-VI emission standards engine truck which causes lesser vehicular pollution, said a government statement. Under the Delhi government's ‘Yuddh, Pradushan ke Viruddh (war on the pollution)' campaign, the Public Works Department (PWD) has installed 23 anti-smog guns at key intersections and construction sites across Delhi, it said.
