Ranchi air is now a sigh of relief to commoners as well as for morning walkers who struggle daily with the presence of particulate matter in the air. For this reason, the municipal corporation of Ranchi (RMC) will introduce air cleaner anti-smog guns and sprinklers to separate the pollutant particles from the atmosphere.

A Thorough Overview of the Clean Air Action Plan of Ranchi
Last Wednesday, Ranchi Mayor Asha Lakra introduced four air purifier machines for Ranchi following the clean air action plan in the city. Asha Lakra, the Mayor of Ranchi, said that these air cleaners would be covering more than 150 locations across Ranchi to clean the air by removing the dust particles and other particulates present in the air. These technically advanced machines have anti-smog guns attached with water sprinklers and fire extinguishers to improve air quality.
In the interview with Times of India, Ranchi’s city manager, Sandeep Kumar, stated that we are regularly getting complaints from the pedestrians and morning walkers about the suspended dust particulate matters present in the air, which are known to bother the commoners. Therefore, to improve the quality of air, following the clean air action plan, the city has bought four vehicles and put them into service to prevent commoners from being affected by air pollution in Ranchi.
Sandeep Kumar said that the primary use of these air cleaners is to be deployed on the stretches used for walking, such as Harmu Maidan, Morhabadi, and the airport road, to serve clean air to the walkers. In addition, anti-smog guns will be used on all major roads in Ranchi to disperse the suspended dust particles in the air.

The newly bought four machines will also be utilized to put out minor fires in Ranchi as they come with fire extinguisher fittings. The commoners in the city are happy with this legit action of the civic body and stated that if this machine can disperse the dust from the air, it will greatly help reduce respiratory issues.
I have lived in the Morhabadi area of Ranchi for over 30 years, but the air quality is not the same as it was ten years ago. Not just due to the increased traffic but also because we see a gush of dust in the air even during the early morning walk. Also, we see a gush of dirt each time a vehicle passes by, and the commoners are helpless to consume the polluted air, said retired forest officer Manali Tudu.
The air cleaner machines are a welcome step if the city introduces the air purifier machines for Ranchi. This step will protect residents from air pollution and reduce respiratory issues for many, the retired forest officer Manilal Tudu added.
