00:00 Winter is coming and we see that pollution is increasing.

00:03 To reduce pollution in winter, we have made a 15-point winter action plan.

00:09 The first point is that we have identified 13 hotspots where pollution is high.

00:15 A special action plan has been made for each hotspot.

00:19 A war room has been made for it.

00:21 13 special teams have been made.

00:23 And there, to keep the pollution down, a special focus will be made.

00:29 To reduce the burning of firewood in Delhi,

00:32 we are using PUSA's bio-decomposer.

00:36 The results are very good.

00:38 We will appeal to the people of Delhi to download the Green Delhi app on Android and iOS.

00:44 And if you see any pollution activity in Delhi,

00:50 send it to this app and we will take action on it.

00:53 Winter is coming and we see that pollution is increasing.

00:57 To reduce pollution in winter, we have made a 15-point winter action plan.

01:03 A 15-point winter action plan.

01:05 The first point is that we have identified 13 hotspots where pollution is high.

01:12 A special action plan has been made for each hotspot.

01:16 A war room has been made for it.

01:18 13 special teams have been made.

01:20 And there, to keep the pollution down, a special focus will be made.

01:27 To reduce the burning of firewood in Delhi,

01:29 we are using PUSA's bio-decomposer.

01:32 We have been using it for the past three years.

01:34 The results are very good.

01:36 Last year, we used a bio-decomposer in 4400 acres.

01:41 This year, we will use a bio-decomposer in 5000 acres.

01:45 We have taken many steps to reduce dust pollution.

01:51 These construction sites have been made for special teams to keep a watch on them.

01:57 There are 591 teams.

02:00 To control the dust from more than 500 square meters,

02:06 they will have to register on the web portal.

02:09 And if there is a construction site of more than 5000 square meters,

02:14 they will have to install an anti-smog gun.

02:18 The roads are also being cleaned.

02:21 82 mechanical road sweeping machines have been installed.

02:25 530 water sprinkling machines have been installed.

02:29 And 258 anti-smog guns will be installed on the roads during winter.

02:34 To control the pollution from vehicles,

02:38 we will have to check the PUC certificates.

02:44 And for the compliance of the ban,

02:48 385 teams of diesel and petrol vehicles have been assembled.

02:54 In congested areas, where there is a lot of traffic,

02:58 the vehicles stop and pollute the roads.

03:03 90 such roads have been identified.

03:06 Alternate routes will be provided.

03:10 To avoid this, you can leave the road.

03:14 There is a ban on burning waste in open areas.

03:17 611 teams have been assembled to keep a watch on it.

03:21 As I said, 1727 industrial units are registered,

03:28 which are now using PNG, non-polluting fuel.

03:32 To keep a watch on it, 66 teams have been assembled.

03:37 A green war room has been built,

03:40 which will be used to keep a watch on it.

03:43 The Green Delhi app was launched 3 years ago.

03:48 It was a successful response.

03:51 It has received 70,000 complaints.

03:54 Out of which, 90%, 63,000 have been resolved.

03:59 We will appeal to the people of Delhi

04:02 to download the Green Delhi app on Android and iOS.

04:06 If you see any pollution activity in Delhi,

04:11 please send it to this app.

04:13 We will take action on it.

04:15 Real-time source apportionment study

04:18 is being conducted with IIT Delhi and DPCC.

04:22 A super site has been built in Sarvodaya, Rao's Avenue.

04:26 We will be able to take action in a focused manner

04:32 in the area of the green cover.

04:36 This year, a ban has been imposed on firecrackers.

04:40 To increase the green cover,

04:43 more than 1 crore new plants will be planted.

04:46 Out of which, 52 lakh plants will be planted by the Delhi government.

04:49 For eco-waste and e-waste,

04:51 a e-waste park is being built on 20 acres of land in Holambikala.

04:57 Consultants have been appointed to increase the speed of the process.

05:02 A public awareness campaign will be launched

05:05 which will include campaigns like 'Run Against Pollution',

05:08 'Red Light On', 'Gaadi Off'.

05:12 Pollution does not set boundaries.

05:15 The air from Haryana comes to Delhi,

05:17 and the air from Delhi goes to UP.

05:20 So, together with all the states around us,

05:24 we are trying to reduce pollution.

05:28 The Central Science and Environment Centre

05:32 shows that pollution in Delhi

05:36 is due to 31% of Delhi's internal sources

05:40 and 69% of the pollution is due to external sources.

05:44 We appeal to the states around us

05:48 to put all the vehicles that go to Delhi on CNG.

05:53 Polluting fuel industries should be shifted to PNG in the surrounding areas of Delhi.

06:01 The brick-laying industry should shift to a zig-zag technique

06:05 which does not pollute.

06:08 If there is 24-hour electricity in NCR,

06:11 then diesel generators will not be needed.

06:14 There should be a complete ban on firecrackers in NCR.

06:19 The GRAP will be implemented with full force.

06:25 The GRAP will be implemented by the Central Government

06:29 and other agencies after three days.

06:34 The GRAP will be implemented on the basis of forecasts

06:39 so that pollution can be controlled in advance.
