Hyderabad: The city’s efforts to curb air pollution through cleaner mobility and scientific waste management have put Hyderabad among the list of clean-air best practices cities in the country, with its annual-average PM10 levels declining by 26.37% over the past seven years.
The sharp year-on-year rise in vehicle usage is a major concern, making it imperative to reduce dependence on motorised transport and promote non-motorised mobility such as walking and cycling, they said. At the same time, authorities need to work towards eliminating the burning of waste,” said Narasimha Reddy Donthi, international campaigner on climate crisis. Experts pointed out that Hyderabad still has a long way to go in tackling air pollution and providing residents with clean air. “Greater emphasis should be placed on strengthening public transportation to reduce the growing dependence on private vehicles. There is also a need for stricter regulation of construction activity, particularly the use and handling of materials and practices that generate dust and other pollutants. Construction sites must be closely monitored to ensure compliance with dust-control measures.
