In a bid to combat Delhi's pollution woes, second largest telecom operator Vodafone India launched an air purifying bus shelter Thursday where commuters travelling via Safdarjung Hospital can stop, and literally breathe-in a sigh of relief.
"The Air-Purifying Bus Shelter’s objective will be to provide a comparatively breathable environment to the people and to bring some relief to the public," the company said in a statement.
The air-purifying bus shelter will be covered with plastic curtains and will have three industrial air purifiers installed inside. The shelter will also house an indicator-system comprising of two grids displaying the level of pollution outside the shelter and the another the air quality measure inside the bus stop.
“The alarming air quality in Delhi NCR has made us contemplate the possible ways of addressing the issue. The bus shelter is a manifestation of our ideas put together to tackle the distressing situation,” Apoorva Mehrotra Business Head Delhi-NCR said.
The air purifying bus shelter has been set up in Safardarjung Hospital bus stand so that patients can avoid the harmful air particles.
The move comes since the unprecedented bout of toxic air has increased Delhi pollution levels since Diwali . Corporate leaders say the region’s toxic air and its impact on health and productivity may repel investment and make it difficult to attract international talent.
