Delhi Tests Tech to Clean Up Truck Fumes
Delhi is trying out special devices on big trucks and buses to clean up the air.
These devices are like filters for exhaust pipes and can cut down on harmful pollution by a lot.
The government is working with experts to make sure these devices work well.
If the tests go well, they might put these devices on all kinds of vehicles to make Delhi's air cleaner.
This is part of a plan to help the environment.
Delhi is testing catalytic converter devices on heavy commercial vehicles to reduce emissions.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee is leading the pilot project.
30 catalytic converter-based devices will be installed on older BS-III and BS-IV trucks and buses.
The devices aim to cut emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter by over 70%.
The project seeks a tech-driven solution to air pollution amid Supreme Court relief for older vehicles.
