Of the total budget, Rs 1,158 crore has been earmarked for the hiring of 250 water sprinkler vehicles equipped with anti-smog guns.

These will operate in three daily shifts, using treated water supplied free of cost, 15,000 kiloliters per day by the Delhi Jal Board.

In addition, the government will spend Rs 1,230 crore over the next seven years in hiring 70 mechanical road sweeping machines. These units, which come equipped with 210 water sprinklers, tankers and anti-smog guns, will focus on cleaning road carriageways, not footpaths or green verges.
