Calling for legislation to keep pollution levels down, she said people in the capital should try to sustain the clean environment. For days the pollution spewing vehicles, factories, kilns and the construction industry remained closed, subsequently, the air quality index here has started to improve. “We have to decide on sustaining the cut in air pollution,” she said suggesting strong anti-pollution legislation. She said that air pollution was being prevented in factories through modern equipment while kilns were also being shifted to ZigZag technology.
