The cell will be led by the member secretary of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and will include officials from various agencies such as the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Public Works Department (PWD), and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Its primary responsibilities include drafting compliance reports, facilitating inter-departmental communication, and managing permissions for road restoration in unauthorized colonies.
