One guideline also states that debris must also be transported to designated sites approved by the BMC. Vehicle tyres should also be cleaned before they emerge from construction sites. While experts have acknowledged the efforts, they added that these guidelines and new measures must be based on a scientific premise.

We are assuming there is research which has now called for these measures. They must be adhered to. Setting up vague committees and saying action  will be taken is obfuscating an issue. There must be specifics about these anti-smoke guns. How many sprinklers are needed? Are personnel trained to use them?

What size of construction sites need these measures? Is there any specific size? All this needs to be spelt out absolutely spot on, then implemented and checked on a regular basis for it to be effective. One cannot help thinking that all those trees cut down for construction would have been our best anti-pollution fighters.
