In the first four months of 2026, dust pollution complaints related to Delhi Metro construction sites plummeted from 640 to just 24. This significant reduction reflects the effectiveness of enhanced dust control measures and a more efficient complaint resolution system implemented by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Over the past few years, complaints had been on the rise, peaking at 2,180 in 2024. However, a strategic reversal occurred in 2025, with complaints dropping to 764, primarily due to increased inspections and stricter adherence to pollution norms. DMRC conducted 1,189 inspections in 2025, with 418 occurring in the first few months. The corporation has deployed 82 anti-smog guns and 19 water tankers to mitigate dust at construction sites. Additionally, DMRC is committed to environmental restoration, directing groundwater to Roshanara Bagh Lake and initiating Miyawaki plantation projects. With no pending dust complaints reported, DMRC aims to ensure metro expansion proceeds with minimal disruption while enhancing environmental quality in Delhi.
