NEW DELHI: The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has asked Public Works Department (PWD) to prepare a proper database of construction and demolition waste generated from its sites and submit an annual report on the same. 

In a directive issued earlier this month, the pollution controlling panel has also asked PWD to ensure all construction and demolition waste generated from its sites are stored in such a manner that it does not create air pollution in the city. 

According to DPCC, open dumping of C&D waste materials is one of the contributors of air pollution, particularly of PM10 and PM2.5 particles, in the capital. 

The move comes after a number of complaints were received in DPCC regarding air pollution generated from dumping of C&D waste materials from various sites belonging to all agencies.
