Dust-Free Pimpri-Chinchwad Campaign

Landge said that while the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation is implementing several measures to control dust, public participation is essential to make the campaign successful.

Residents present at the meeting suggested regular water spraying on roads, stricter enforcement of dust-control measures at construction sites and stronger road cleaning drives. They also called for continuous awareness campaigns.

Responding to the suggestions, the mayor said the civic body is already using mechanical sweeping on major roads, managing debris and enforcing cleanliness rules at public places.

To find a permanent solution, a joint meeting between the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will be held soon to finalise necessary measures.
