Installing a smog tower in the capital may take another ten months, with a fresh MoU signed by IIT-Bombay with the central government. The work will be carried out using expertise from University of Minnesota and IIT Delhi. At present, Delhi has only one smog tower – a 20-ft- tall device, which was installed at Lajpat Nagar in January by a local traders’ association.
The reason for the cycling increase vary from limited public transport options to a preference for contactless modes of travel to keep the Covid-19 infection at bay. Nearly two-and-a-half months after Delhi started relaxing the lockdown norms put in place to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, roads of the national capital have started seeing a surge in the number of cyclists, a study has found

Covid-19 is all-subsuming; it makes difficult thinking or acting on issues that made up our world yesterday and would stay in our world of tomorrow. One such issue is that of plastic — the most ubiquitous substance in our lives that fills up our land and oceans, polluting them and adding to our health stress.
The initial finding of the ongoing study by five researchers—all alumni of IIT-Delhi and IIT-Roorkee—shows that on at least 22 of the 56 stretches monitored, the number of cyclists has increased by 4% to 12%.
