GOVERNANCE POLLUTION

Are you a delhite, who is agitated with the capital's unresolved

issue of pollution and wishes to reach out to the authorities
whenever you come across a source pollutant? You will be
glad to know that the Delhi government has made it quite
simple for its citizens to raise their concerns through the
Green Delhi Mobile App.

The concept of Green Delhi Mobile App was initiated on the

recommendation of DDC Delhi for a unified grievance redressal
to cater to air pollution related complaints in Delhi. Delhi’s
Environment Minister formed a committee headed by a
member of DDC Delhi to ensure the time-bound
implementation of the same. The app features were
benchmarked with global best practices and care was taken to
address the shortcomings in a similar app by the Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The Green Delhi App was
developed by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC)
and National Informatics Centre (NIC). The app was launched
by Hon’ble Chief Minister Sh. Arvind Kejriwal on 29 October,
2020. The iPhone friendly version of the app was launched in
October 2022.
The Green Delhi app, allows citizens to report pollution-
causing instances to the government. The purpose of the app
is to redress pollution related complaints and allow citizens to
alert Delhi government departments about violations of
environmental norms. The app has 27 civic agencies of Delhi
on a singular platform to ensure citizens’ complaints reach the
concerned agency and get resolved in a time-bound manner.
It also has The app has the feature of identifying location of
the photograph taken. Strict timelines have been set for each
type of complaint. The departments concerned will also have
to post a picture after the complaint is addressed.

The Chief Minister said the Government wants to involve

everyone in the fight against pollution as no big change can
take place without the support of the people. Additionally,
citizens can click pictures or make a video of pollution-causing
activities, such as the burning of garbage, industrial pollution,
dust and upload them on the application. The whole system is
managed by a team of 70 ‘green’ marshals, designated at
‘green war room’, which has been setup at the Delhi
Secretariat to monitor the status of complaints.
The Green Delhi app is designed with a simple interface and
you can simply (Step 1) click on the plus sign to register your

complain, Step 2: Record the video, audio or take a photo of

your complaint, Step 3: Select what the complaint is from a list
of drop down options, Step 4: Select the department of Delhi
Government is should be sent to (e.g. which municipality, etc.)
and Send it.

Talking about the success of the app, recent data showed that
during Oct - Nov 2022, the city government resolved nearly 90
percent of the air pollution-related complaints it received
through the Green Delhi app. More than 46,000 complaints
have been captured by this app so far most of them have been
resolved. The impact on improving the environment of Delhi
using technology in this way is certainly worth emulating by
other cities. It has been making useful contributions including
helping identify the pollution hotspots of Delhi. The app
enables every citizen of Delhi transform into a green warden
for ensuring that Delhi can be kept clean and green, and free
from pollution.
