A day after it was highlighted that dust pollution due to the ongoing construction of Samrala Chowk–Ferozepur Road elevated road project is shooting up the air quality index (AQI) in the city, the officials of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) swung into action and sprinkled the construction site and slips roads with water on Wednesday.
Project director of the elevated road project Krishan Sachdeva said, “We had carried out extensive sprinkling at the spots where construction is taking place. Besides, we have intensified sprinkling on Bharat Nagar Chowk and Aarti Chowk from where the complaints of dust pollution were being reported.”
