Chandigarh Issues Notices to Curb Air Pollution
The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) is making a plan to clean up the air in the city.
They've sent official warnings to different government groups, like the city engineers and the railway, because the air is too polluted.
This pollution comes from things like dust on the roads and exposed soil.
The CPCC wants these groups to take steps to fix the problem, like using special paving, washing roads, and planting more plants.
The main goal is to reduce harmful particles in the air, especially during the winter, when the air quality tends to get worse.
The agencies have been given 15 days to respond to the notices.
Chandigarh's CPCC issued notices to government bodies to curb air pollution.
Notices were issued under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
The UT engineering department, municipal corporation, and Indian Railways received notices.
Dust from roads, construction, and railway operations is a key concern.
Government bodies have been given 15 days to respond.
