UT Chokes In Dust Chamber
Chandigarh: In a city where the burgeoning number of private vehicles has exceeded the total population, air is bound to be heavy with toxic fumes. For Chandigarh, the tag of "city with the highest density of vehicle ownership in the country" has come at a high price – severe traffic congestion, vehicle exhaust pumping poisonous fumes into the air, and heavy traffic sending clouds of dust floating up. A recent research report reveals that roadside dust is the main contributor to the poor air quality. During the latest meeting of the Chandigarh steering committee under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), the UT chief secretary was informed about a survey conducted by the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC). The survey found that one of the major source of PM 10 is soil exposed to pollutants. It was also highlighted that source apportionment studies carried out by many states, and preliminary findings of such study carried out in Chandigarh by IIT Kanpur and Ropar, concluded that roadside dust is the main contributor to the poor air quality. Saurabh Kumar, chief conservator of forests (CCF) and director, environment, said, "A major factor is that roadside dust and soil get suspended in the air and lead to deterioration in air quality. The city has high traffic movement, which disturbs the loose roadside dust." Weather and seasonal factors exacerbate the situation. In winter, air quality in the city deteriorates sharply as road dust as well as particulate matter clog the air. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Of late, air quality indices in the city during the winter months have been among the worst in the country. Kumar said, "The steering committee has decided that measures to control roadside dust and soil will be initiated well in advance so that roadside dust suspension is minimised." Measures to check pollution The central verge will be covered with eco-friendly honeycomb paver blocks or with thick vegetation cover City roads will be washed at night with tertiary treated water Tertiary water pipelines will be laid on important roads so that water can be sprayed and the roads always remain wet Water will be sprinkled before manual sweeping of city roads The committee also decided that NCAP funds will be spent on tangible actions such as automated road sweeping machines, water fogging machines, etc, to check dust pollution Constituents of roadside dust Particulate matter and pollutants released from vehicles that accumulate on and near roads Particles from tyre and brake wear, road surface abrasion, and resuspended road dust from traffic Traffic and vehicular density As per the latest Rites survey (2024-25), Chandigarh registers more than 15 lakh motorised inter-city trips per day. The Rites survey conducted in 2008 pegged daily total inter-city passenger traffic at 4.93 lakh trips. More than six lakh motor vehicles were registered in Chandigarh in 2005. Cost of prosperity According to the Chandigarh Master Plan (CMP-2031), the city has the highest number of motorised vehicles per capita in the country. The CMP states, "The share of two-wheelers and cars in total traffic is more than 80%. Household travel surveys indicate high ownership of cars and two-wheelers — 86% of households own at least one car or two-wheeler." During peak hours, on the busiest junctions, like Transport Chowk, nearly 80% of vehicles are private ones, concluded a recent Rites report. Chandigarh Traffic Police Annual Report says that against a vehicle population of 13.7 lakh, the city's population was 12.7 lakh in 2023. The vehicle population increased from 8.8 lakh in 2012 to 13.7 lakh in 2023.

OnBoard launched to aid Bengaluru's visually impaired bus passengers
Bengaluru: In an effort to make public transport more inclusive, BMTC has implemented the OnBoard solution — a new assistive device to assist visually impaired individuals identify a specific route number bus they wish to board. When a bus nears a stop, the user can press the 'Find' button, triggering an audio announcement of the route number through a speaker mounted on the bus. If it matches the intended route, pressing 'Select' alerts the driver and conductor, who can then assist the commuter in boarding. The new system features a two-part communication setup: A handheld remote device carried by the user and a communication unit installed on the bus, mounted on the lower left front glass panel near the entry door. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru BMTC conducted a pilot study involving 25 buses operating on routes 401K and 242B, which are frequently used by visually impaired commuters. The project included hands-on training for 500 users, with 25 active participants testing the system during the pilot phase. Following the pilot, BMTC expanded the initiative to 100 more buses and plans to cover 500 buses in near future. On Saturday, transport minister Ramalinga Reddy officially launched the initiative in the presence of visually impaired passengers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The initiative is being implemented in collaboration with Continental Automotive Components India, Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, Raised Lines Foundation, Enable India. Nithin T, a trainer for the OnBoard initiative, told TOI the system empowers visually impaired individuals to travel independently and confidently. "I'm visually impaired. Let's say I'm travelling from Yeshwantpur to Yelahanka (route 401). When I'm at the bus stop and three or four buses arrive at once, I cannot identify the one I need. I have to depend on others or approach the crew, which is not always easy. OnBoard technology addresses this. Using the handheld remote device, when I press the 'Find' button, it helps in identifying a bus which I intend to travel within a 30-metre radius that is equipped with the communication unit. When I press the 'Select' button, the unit alerts the driver that a passenger in need is about to board. The audio announcement also helps guide me to the door of the bus." A similar process ensures support during alighting.
