  1. A. Mumbai
  2. B. Pune
  3. C. Chennai
  4. D. Delhi

Answer

Correct option: D - Delhi

India's first Smog Tower was inaugurated on August 23, 2021, at Connaught Place (Baba Kharak Singh Marg) in New Delhi. The tower, standing 24 metres tall, was designed as an experimental pilot project to purify ambient air in a 1-km radius at a rate of approximately 1,000 cubic metres per second. It draws air in from the top, filters it through multiple layers, and releases clean air from the bottom. Delhi was chosen due to its chronic air pollution problem.
