For the first time, hundreds of sprinkler vehicles are being deployed to clean the ring road in Delhi. Gupta stated, "Our mission is collective - controlling pollution. Our government is fully alert and committed to fighting pollution at all levels." The regular cleaning of roads using these sprinkler vehicles is a proactive step towards improving air quality and reflects the government's determination to provide citizens with a cleaner environment.
