A wounded city which looks war ravaged #brokeninfrastructure cannot impose GRAP 1-4 ( set of emergency measures to contain air pollution ) but if it amuses our govt & administration, then play on …..make lofty announcements of strict actions & strong enforcements 😥…. However, #truth be told ! GRAP 4 is back today, but it will grapple with Gurugram’s broken infrastructure and quickly gallop away, only to return in Nov 26. No clean roads, no clean fuel by tractor trolley’s, no enforcement—just a paper tiger. Dust from construction, diesel fumes from tractor-trolleys, indiscriminate malba dumping , waste burning and emissions from heavy construction vehicles keep choking the city under ‘rapid urbanization’ . No single authority is accountable nor empowered to bring in compliances so enforcement is ❌. Any given day barring the rainy days Gurgaon AQI is between 200- 350 all year, and on most days a grey haze are the new normal. 😥 #Gurgaon #AQI #PublicHealth #Infrastructure #GURGAONGST #RealityversusRealty #Gurugram #AirPollution #DelhiNCR #Smog #RdtheYearAirPollution #DhoolDhua 💔 #BrokenCity #WoundedPeople 🥹#UrbanPlanning #CleanConstruction @NayabSainiBJP ji @RaoNarbir ji @Rao_InderjitS ji broke promises public health not a priority 💔only REALTY growth is the focus Seriously, respected @byadavbjp ji @CAQM_Official @moefcc Why invoke GRAP in Gurgaon? It’s like forcing PhD material on a nursery student. First, build the city’s infrastructure—roads , wet waste processing, segregated dry waste collection centres, clean fuel—then talk about enforcement. @PMOIndia @thetribunechd @InfrageoHaryana @IndianExpress @htTweets @AmarUjalaNews @NavbharatTimes @the_hindu

🚧🌍 Next-Gen Road Construction: Innovation Built on Bitumen The world of infrastructure is evolving — and bitumen remains the foundation of it all. From smart highways to sustainable streets, here’s how technology is redefining the road beneath us: 🧱 Key Innovations •♻️ Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP): Recycling old asphalt to reduce bitumen use. •🔬 Self-Healing Surfaces: Microcapsules repair cracks automatically, cutting maintenance cycles. •🧪 Plastic-Modified Asphalt: India leads with waste-plastic roads for tougher, eco-friendly pavements. •🌿 Bioasphalt & Renewable Binders: Vegetable oils and lignin replace part of traditional bitumen. •🤖 Smart & Sensor Roads: Real-time data on traffic and stress for predictive maintenance. 🌱 These breakthroughs don’t replace bitumen — they optimize it, making roads greener, longer-lasting, and more efficient. At Techinergy, we support innovation that transforms sustainability into lasting infrastructure power — where every drop of bitumen builds the road to a cleaner tomorrow. ⚡🇮🇳 #Techinergy #ExcellenceDrivingTheFuture #News #SocialMedia #India #World #Business #Technology #Innovation #Petroleum #Petrochemical #oil #crudeoil #energy #marketing #Biofuel #lubricants #bitumen #refinery #environment #Sustainability #US #UK #HydrogenRevolution #GreenFuel #carboncredits #SmartRoads #Infrastructure #AsphaltTechnology #CircularEconomy #CleanConstruction #RoadInnovation

Thank you @CAQM_Official for taking cognizance of air pollution concerns in #residentialareas due to non-compliance of NGT construction dust containment measures, lack of implementation of Construction and Demolition Waste management Guidelines, and the lack of monitoring of smaller sites under 500 sqm in GRAP 1-3. Given the severe impact on densely populated colonies, we urge a policy review in light of our submissions -petition dated 8th September 2025. Please also bring plots #under500sqm under monitoring and emission curbs, including JCBs, RMCs, and portable DGs, in all phases of GRAP. Thank you @HTGurgaon and @leenadhankhar for highlighting this pressing issue. #ResidentsHealth #Airpollution #DelhiNCR #ConstructionNorms #EnforceNGTConstructionDustContainmentNorms #ImplementConstructionDemolitionWasteMngtGuidelines #GRAPPolicy4PlotsUnder500Sqmtr #CleanConstruction #Offroademissions #potableDGs @moefcc @CPCB_OFFICIAL @Haryana_spcb @csharyana @PradeepIAS_HR @CeoNoida @HTNoidaGzb @PMOIndia @cmohry
Chairperson @CAQM_Official Subject: Seeking Policy Support for Including Construction Sites under 500 sqm under all phases of GRAP and Strengthening Enforcement Dear Chairperson, We are writing to bring to your attention the pressing issue of air pollution from construction sites in residential areas, particularly those under 500 sqm. The video(s) and pictures attached illustrate the severity of the problem. Despite our efforts to highlight this policy gap and lack of enforcement capabilities, the situation in Gurgaon has worsened due to the S 4 floor builder policy permitted within lived-in colonies. The demolition of small houses without proper adherence to dust pollution norms has turned residential areas into dust bowls with high emission loads. Unfortunately, this is not reflected in the Air Quality Index (AQI) readings, as 3 out of 4 monitors in Gurgaon are located in non-residential sectors.

At the Air Pollution Roundtable – Advancing Clean Air Solutions, Dr. S.D. Attri, in his special address, emphasized that while construction is crucial for urban growth, it must not come at the expense of the environment. He highlighted the rapid urbanization and stressed the need for lean development practices that prioritize sustainability. Dr. Attri also pointed out the role of new technologies like AI, sprinklers, and HDP systems in mitigating air pollution, urging builders to invest in global innovations and comply with environmental standards. The discussions then shifted to exploring solutions for improving air quality, with experts emphasizing cross-sector collaboration. Key topics included the adoption of clean construction practices and the use of technology to reduce pollution at construction sites. Industry leaders underscored the importance of investing in sustainable practices and fostering innovation to mitigate the environmental impact of urbanization. As the roundtable concluded, it was clear that collective action, innovative technologies, and collaboration across sectors are essential for building cleaner, healthier cities. #AirPollutionControl #IndustrialAirQuality #CleanAirIndia #MakeInIndia #GreenIndustry #SustainableManufacturing #HEPAFilter #FumeExtraction #DustControl #SmartIndustry #CleanConstruction #IACC #AirQualityManagement #CleanAirForAll #GEMgreenbuilding #CAQM @CPCB_OFFICIAL @moefcc @byadavbjp @WRIIndia @TheJSWGroup @GreenAssocham @narora141 @manjursnegi @pinaki @cbse @sdattri @CSEINDIA @PrakashDorai2 @nivit @namitagupta8

Carry out constructions without dust or pay fine, get licenses cancelled: One of the main culprits contributing to the poor air quality in Delhi was construction-related pollution. This prompted the Supreme Court to impose a blanket ban on construction activities in the National Capital Region (NGR) in a desperate bid to help the capital breathe easy. And Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) appears to have taken cue. With private constructions mushrooming across the city, Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has issued strict guidelines to control dust pollution from construction sites — one of the biggest contributors to poor air quality. Currently, over 5,000 private construction works are happening on plots measuring more than an acre in Chennai. To prevent dust from spilling onto roads and polluting the air, GCC has made it mandatory for builders to follow these rules: •Raise 10m-high tin or metal barricades around the construction site •Cover the entire site with metal sheets to prevent dust from spreading •Use anti-smog guns to spray water and suppress dust from construction materials •Install wheel-washing systems at site exits to clean debris from vehicle tyres •Cover vehicles carrying debris with tarpaulin sheets •Dump debris only in authorized dump yards •Give GCC 24/7 live CCTV access to monitor construction sites Penalty and Enforcement Violations will attract fines: •₹5 lakh for sites over 5 acres •₹50,000 for sites between 0.1 acre and 5 acres •₹30,000 for sites under 0.1 acre If builders fail to rectify violations within 15 days of notice, GCC will cancel construction licences. To ensure round-the-clock monitoring, GCC has formed 47 special teams to inspect construction sites at night. The corporation has also written to Metro Rail to implement similar dust control measures at their project sites. Public Feedback Residents can share their suggestions on these guidelines by mailing swmcleanconstruction@gmail.com within 30 days. #ChennaiAirQuality #DustFreeChennai #CleanConstruction #PollutionControl #GCCCrackdown #ChennaiFightsPollution #SmogFreeChennai #ConstructionDust #GreenChennai #CleanAirInitiative
