Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday inaugurated the Delhi Pollution Control Committee’s Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) at its office in east Delhi to strengthen the city’s monitoring and response to air pollution.
The centre will enable real-time monitoring of various sources of pollution, AI-based analysis, integration of complaints and field inspection data, and coordination among departments concerned, the Chief Minister’s Office said in a statement. It stated that the system aims to translate pollution-related data into field action and measurable outcomes.
