The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) conducted an inspection drive on 142 road stretches in Noida. The inspection was done yesterday to assess the status of road cleaning, mechanical sweeping operations and the overall upkeep of road stretches under the statutory framework of the extant Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).

Out of the total 142 stretches inspected, only four showed high visible dust levels, 24 had moderate dust, 66 recorded low dust intensity, and 48 had no visible dust. The Commission said that such enforcement drives under Operation Clean Air will continue regularly across the NCR region to ensure strict compliance with statutory directions and GRAP measures for dust mitigation and prevention of open burning.
