Delhi to develop dust-free model roads
The Public Works Department in Delhi is planning to make four roads completely dust-free.
They will fix potholes, pave the roads, and add greenery.
If this works well, they will do the same for more roads.
The government will also use special machines to clean the roads and spray water to reduce dust.
They have a big plan to fix many roads in Delhi to make the air cleaner.
This project will cost a lot of money and is expected to be finished in one year.
The Public Works Department (PWD) will develop four dust-free 'model roads' in Delhi to combat air pollution.
The project includes pothole repair, wall-to-wall paving, and greenery work.
If successful, the project will be expanded to other roads in the city.
The government plans to redevelop 160 km of roads and add greenery to 85.70 km of roads this year.
The total estimated cost for these projects is expected to exceed Rs 400 crore.
