00:00Before I move on, let's also quickly take you through the updates coming in from Gurugram now.
00:10Gurugram has imposed strict pollution curves from November 5th to 28th. Construction and demolition
00:15has been banned. 50% work from home for government and private offices has been imposed with the aim
00:20of reducing vehicular traffic and pollution on the roads. An administration has mandated that
00:25only 50% of the workforce will be present in government and private offices over there.
00:31Alright, so that's the big update coming in from Gurugram. Just to sort of take you through that
00:37story, Gurugram does not apply. When you say graph measures are imposed, it's only in Delhi. NCR
00:44always does not follow in its ambit. Anmol Bali now joins us for more details on that story.
00:50Anmol 50% work from home for Gurugram. Does that mean that there could be a bit of a relief
00:59when it comes to the traffic? And a lot of people go, you know, work in Gurugram, stay in Noida
01:05or Delhi.
01:06That could have a visible impact. But I also understand that you are currently in Cannot Place.
01:12It looks beautiful and festive. It breaks my heart to be asking you questions on pollution at the moment.
01:16But take me through, how exactly are people responding at the moment? Are they even aware of the winter action
01:22plan?
01:29As you know, after National Capital Delhi, now Gurugram has also imposed a ban on the construction
01:34and the demolition activity. And 50% of the employees will be asked to work from home
01:39to reduce the vehicular pollution, vehicular movement on the roads.
01:42Because Gurugram is one of the major IT hub of the Delhi NCR. And currently, I am here at Delhi's
01:47Cannot Place
01:47where I will show you the festive season. The streets are bustling with the people.
01:51Those who have come from the various corners of the National Capital, even from the other states
01:55for their festive shopping. But I am here joined by two of the shoppers who were here
01:59in the National Capital as the main market Cannot Place.
02:03So, sir, sir, you are here shopping. You are here, you are here, but you are here in Delhi.
02:07But in Delhi, in Delhi, we are seeing that the B.S.C.E.'s non-compliant
02:09gaardians have closed the entry in Delhi.
02:12Also, in the P.U.C. and other countries, there will not be oil in Delhi.
02:15So, the measures of Delhi, you have to know about the measures of Delhi, you have to know about it?
02:18Yes, I have to know, sir. We are seeing it.
02:20Because it is very necessary, sir.
02:23It is necessary. The pollution that was before it was better, it was better.
02:48I am also joined by one of the local from the Cannot Place.
02:52So, what difference do you think, sir, first of all, the restrictions have been put in
02:57the place of Delhi and the non-B.S.C.E.?
03:01Basically, all of this is planned.
03:04There are water sprinklers, there are new air purifiers, in the N.D.M.C. area,
03:12and in Delhi, there are also a grab, there are vans on construction, there are other things
03:18that the Delhi government is doing well.
03:20But the production is showing up now.
03:23The production is showing up now.
03:23The production is going up.
03:24The production is going up.
03:25The one that will not be closed, the Delhi government is working on it.
03:29Do you think there is a decrease in any of the projects?
03:30I don't think there is a decrease in the production.
03:31At that time, there is no decrease in the production.
03:33The work from home is done, everything is done.
03:36But eventually, there is a shopper, there is a shopper in the market.
03:39So clearly, it was one of the locals who joined me from the Knot place, who has a shop here.
03:44He clearly said the shoppers are coming to the Knot place.
03:46But still, we are also seeing that Equai has breathed the 300 mark and soon,
03:50we will be seeing that grab two will be implemented in the national capital.
03:54Already, we have seen that winter action plan has been implemented by the Delhi government
03:58because demolition construction activities have been banned.
04:00And even no fuel will be given to the vehicles with no PUC.
04:04But still, we are seeing that pollution is increasing.
04:06But on the other hand, the markets are bustling amid this festive season, sooner.
04:10Alright, great plan.
04:12Question mark on the implementation.
04:14That's what I am taking away from both what Shivani and Anmol are showing us on the streets of the
04:19national capital.
04:20A on the question of awareness and B on the question of implementation.
04:24Both places, this entire plan seems to be lacking at the moment.
04:28Thank you both for joining us and giving us a perspective on how this is actually working on the ground.
