Delhi Explores 'Clean Air Zone' at Nehru Park to Combat Pollution
The Delhi government is trying to make the air cleaner in some parks.
They're testing special machines called air purifiers to remove bad stuff from the air.
They might put these machines in Nehru Park to see if they can make the air much better, like by 50%.
If it works, they might try it in other busy places.
The government is getting help from companies to pay for this, so it doesn't cost extra money.
Delhi government is exploring a 'Clean Air Zone' pilot project at Nehru Park.
The project aims to create cleaner air zones using outdoor air purifiers.
150 advanced air purification units may be installed at Nehru Park.
The study will assess if AQI levels can be reduced by up to 50% in designated zones.
The initiative would be implemented through CSR partnerships if successful.
