The Delhi Pollution Control Committee launched the Road RADAR (Real-time Air Pollution Detection Across Roads) initiative to identify sources of air pollution through daily ground-level surveys in Delhi.
The initiative uses geo-tagged reporting through the MCD-311 mobile application for quick action on pollution sources.
The programme covers around 18,000 km of roads every month across Delhi.
Road RADAR tracks 11 categories of pollution sources, including road dust, garbage, biomass burning, plastic burning, and construction and demolition waste.
The initiative aims to improve real-time monitoring, administrative accountability, and rapid redressal of pollution-related complaints.
