Yogi Adityanath (Manoj Yadav/Hindustan Times)
Taking a serious view of rising air pollution, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed municipal corporations to ensure that garbage is not burnt and to sprinkle water to control dust.
A statement issued by the UP government said that at a meeting here yesterday (15 November) Adityanath had also said that cloud seeding techniques should be explored in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
The chief minister issued orders to various municipal corporations across the state to ensure the garbage is not burnt, and asked fire brigades and municipal corporations to sprinkle water so as to control dust pollution.
He directed the district magistrates to run awareness campaigns, so as to stop farmers from burning farm waste.
The UP chief minister also directed decongestion of the Kaisarbagh bus stand in Lucknow.
Instructions have also been issued to fill trenches along the construction site of Lucknow Metro rail, so that dust can be minimised, and air pollution reduced. PTI
