5.4.4.3 Mechanical Road Sweepers to curb air pollution
5.4.4.3.1 A major concern of air pollution in Delhi is the road dust that is
generated by suspended particles during cleaning the road. Traditionally,
sweeping of roads is done manually, which causes the dust to remain floating
in the air for some time, thus increasing suspended particulate matter in the
air. Road dust is major contributor to both PM 10 and PM 2.5 emission in
Delhi air. To control this, NDMC has enhanced the fleet of mechanical road
sweepers to 9 by procuring 4 such machines in 2018-19. These mechanical
road sweepers are deployed on all avenue roads of approx. 135 kms.

5.4.4.3.2 With an aim to cover lanes, by-lanes and commercial / market areas,
it is proposed to procure 7 small mechanical road sweepers, 7 small electrical
road sweepers and 7 litter picker machines for a period of 5 years on OPEX
basis during the year 2019-20thesemachines will go a long way in curbing air
pollution and 100% roads will be cleaned mechanically.

5.4.4.4 Home Composting
Home composting has been started in more than 532 houses in NDMC Area,
