Chandigarh Admn Orders Dismantling of India's Tallest Air Purifier

Imagine a giant fan meant to clean the air in a busy city.

Chandigarh had one of these very tall air purifiers installed.

The company that put it up said it would clean the air in a big area.

However, after it was turned on, officials found that it only cleaned a small part of the air.

They also discovered it wasn't cleaning the air as well as the company promised.

So, the city government decided to stop using it.

They cut off its electricity and told the company to take it down.

This was a pilot project, and its failure means other planned air purifiers won't be installed.
