Delhi launches AI-powered Dust Portal 2.0 to monitor construction dust

New Delhi, Jul 13: The Delhi government on Monday launched the Dust Portal 2.0, an AI-powered platform that will monitor dust control measures at construction and demolition sites in real time, as part of the efforts to curb one of the capital's major sources of air pollution.
Developed by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), the web portal and mobile application use artificial intelligence, GIS mapping, live 360-degree cameras and PM10 and PM2.5 sensors to monitor compliance with dust-control norms. The platform also allows project proponents to carry out self-assessments.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the portal in the presence of Environment Minister Sardar Manjinder Singh Sirsa and senior officials.
