Express photo Dusty roads are among the highest contributors to the capital’s pollution. The Supreme Court-mandated EPCA has very strongly demanded that authorities in the Delhi-NCR “identify the three most notorious roads each, implement dust control measures and report to the EPCA”. Whether it’s roads under construction or buildings under construction or raw material for construction being transported without being covered…they all contribute to air pollution. Authorities should zero in on at least three roads each in Delhi-NCR, and then take up more with time,” said Lal. Last year, the Delhi government had announced plans of mechanical sweeping, greening and landscaping of roads in the city.
