New Delhi, Nov 13 The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday questioned the functioning of an anti-smog gun installed on the 28th floor of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) headquarters, alleging that the machine was not operational despite high pollution levels in the city.
MCD Leader of Opposition Ankush Narang claimed that the anti-smog gun at the Civic Centre was shut when he visited the building on Thursday evening. He cited an AQI reading of 546 recorded at the MCD headquarters at 5.41 pm on November 12.
However, MCD officials on Friday said all anti-smog guns installed by the civic body were functional and operated during the general working shift, as confirmed by the officials concerned.
Standing on the rooftop of the building, Narang accused the BJP-led Delhi government and the MCD of making claims about pollution-control measures without ensuring that the equipment was working.
“Delhiites need clean air, not speeches based on the BJP government’s false claims,” he said, demanding that the anti-smog guns be made operational.
