The Odisha government has gone into action mode to curb rising air pollution across the state. In view of the deteriorating air quality, stringent measures are being implemented to protect public health.
Restrictions have now been enforced in five cities. After Talcher and Balasore, the administration has imposed curbs in Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, and Angul.
Under the new measures, all construction activities will remain suspended from 6 PM to 10 AM in these cities. Any kind of demolition or breaking work has been strictly prohibited during this period.
To control dust pollution, water sprinkling will be carried out three times a day on major roads and national highways. In the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, burning of garbage in open areas has been completely banned. Additionally, the use of coal and firewood for cooking in hotels and roadside eateries (dhabas) has also been prohibited.
Violators of these restrictions will face a fine of Rs 5,000. Restrictions have also been imposed on the movement of heavy vehicles during nighttime.
The Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO) has been instructed to ensure regular water sprinkling on roads in industrial areas.
Meanwhile, the Air Quality Index (AQI) of seven cities in Odisha has entered the danger zone. These include Talcher, Angul, Balasore, Kalinganagar, Rourkela, and now Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
Earlier, Talcher had already been placed under GRAP Stage-II due to severe air pollution levels.
