necessary steps were being taken to minimise dust and pollution also. Anti-smog guns, deployed at various sites of metro stations that were currently under construction, were being used for suspending dust particles in the atmosphere, claimed the press statement.

It is to be noted that during the construction of an underground metro station, UPMRC has adopted top-down approach that minimises pollution and dust since excavation is done downwards. There is little impact on traffic movement as well.

Presently, the construction work is on for the 14 km long first corridor of Agra Metro Rail Project.
