A unique approach to combating air pollution was taken by the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of DLF Primus Society in Sector 82, Gurugram. On Thursday, November 8, the RWA conducted " artificial rain " by spraying water from the fire lines of the society's 32-storey high-rise towers.
Achal Yadav, the RWA President, told news agency ANI that this initiative is aimed at reducing air pollution in the area. "We are ready to conduct artificial rain daily if the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Gurugram worsens," he said.
The RWA has also implemented additional measures like carpooling to contribute to cleaner air. "The government alone cannot solve this issue. Everyone needs to participate," Yadav added.
Meanwhile, the Central government has introduced amendments to the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Rules of 2023 to address the problem of stubble burning. The new rules impose environmental compensation on farmers who engage in stubble burning.
As per the notification released by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate change, the central government aims to impose new rules to deal with the stubble burning in Delhi and surrounding areas.
Farmers with less than two acres of land will be charged Rs 5,000, those with two to five acres will pay Rs 10,000, and those with more than five acres will pay Rs 30,000. These measures are being implemented in response to the alarming rise in air pollution levels in Delhi and its surrounding areas, with the AQI frequently exceeding 400.
