Centre asks Delhi-NCR states to submit reports on pollution control efforts

The Union minister emphasised zero tolerance against open burning of municipal solid waste and directed civic authorities to prepare strict timelines for bridging gaps in legacy waste management and accelerating its clearance. He urged officials to share best practices on waste management, instead of working in silos. Yadav also called for the installation of online continuous emission monitoring systems and air pollution control devices in all red-category industries across NCR on a mission mode.
