New Delhi, June 30 || Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said the government is taking concrete steps to make the national capital pollution-free and green.
“Public transportation is being rapidly converted to electric vehicles, which will not only reduce pollution but also provide Delhi residents with clean and affordable transportation,” said CM Gupta in a post on X.
Elaborating on steps being taken to clean the city’s air, she said, “Dust pollution is being effectively controlled at construction sites and major roads through technologies like smoke guns and sprinklers.”
The CM also highlighted the government’s tree plantation efforts under the campaign 'Ek ped, Maa ke Naam (One tree in the name of Mother)'.
“Tree plantation has been given the form of a social movement. We are moving forward with a commitment to making Delhi a healthy, green, and environmentally friendly global city,” she said.
The Chief Minister, in an earlier post, said, “The Delhi government's goal is to develop the Capital into an accessible, inclusive, and empowered city.”
