Union Environment Minister visits CAQM’s ‘PAVAN-I3C’ Integrated Command and Control Centre to review Air Pollution Mitigation Operations

The Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change visited the Commission for Air Quality Management's newly developed Integrated Command and Control Centre called PAVAN (Platform for Air quality Vigilance and Analytics for NCR) in New Delhi. PAVAN-I3C integrates over 30 APIs and data streams, including air quality, emissions, meteorological, satellite, traffic, and complaint data from multiple agencies to enable real-time monitoring and data-driven compliance management of air quality across the Delhi-NCR region. The platform operates on a 'Detect, Analyse, Act' principle to facilitate inter-agency coordination, automated alerts, and rapid enforcement. Additionally, it was announced that construction and demolition activities across the NCR region would be halted from 5th to 20th November to control pollution.
