The Union government is implementing a comprehensive strategy to combat the escalating issue of air pollution, government sources told CNN News18. The Centre plans to introduce advanced Japanese technology to significantly reduce the emission of dust particles in the air.

Additionally, the government is set to adopt Japanese demolition and construction methods that effectively limit dust during such activities, which are major contributors to urban air pollution. The new technology aims to cut airborne dust particles at their source, thereby improving air quality in affected cities.

In conjunction with these measures, the government is also accelerating its push for electric vehicles (EVs) as part of its long-term strategy to reduce vehicular emissions.
