In furtherance of this initiative, he conducted a meeting with these construction agencies at the Delhi Secretariat.

He emphasised the importance of all construction-related organisations following a comprehensive set of 14 guidelines aimed at curbing dust pollution.

The minister also shared that the government is currently in the process of formulating a winter action plan to combat pollution.

In this endeavor, 28 different departments have been assigned specific responsibilities and are expected to submit their reports promptly.
