The war room will also be used this year, with drone mapping and real-time studies, to track sources of pollution better than last year. It will track AQI data from 24 government-run pollution monitoring stations. Rai has stated that the government is repeating its demand to the Centre for permission to set artificial rain for pollution reduction during the winter months, after sending an earlier request on 1st September which has not been responded to yet. The minister demanded the participation of the residents too by reporting pollution-causing activities through the Green Delhi App by uploading photos.
