Delhi Gets 150 Electric Buses and 13 New CAAQMS Stations

The correct answer is 150. The Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Bhupender Yadav, along with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, flagged off 150 new electric buses at Swami Vivekanand ISBT in Anand Vihar under the Sewa Sankalp Abhiyaan, as part of the capital's push towards cleaner public transport. The other three options are plausible round numbers but none of them matches the announcement. On the same occasion the two leaders opened public electric vehicle charging stations at five locations, namely ISBT Anand Vihar and the bus depots at Nand Nagri, Rohini Sector-37, Nangloi and Keshopur, so that the new fleet has charging support across the city. They also inaugurated thirteen new Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations installed by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, and reviewed pollution control measures at the Anand Vihar hotspot, where tasks had been assigned to eleven agencies.

The correct answer is 60. Delhi had forty-seven monitoring stations run by various agencies, among them the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, the Central Pollution Control Board, the India Meteorological Department, the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and the ministry dealing with housing and urban affairs. With thirteen new stations set up by the pollution control committee being inaugurated, the network grew to sixty stations. Option A is the number of stations before the new additions, so it is the earlier figure rather than the current one. Option B is simply the sum of a wrong pair of numbers and does not appear in the announcement, and option D is too high. The minister explained that besides the older population-based norms, monitoring now follows a grid of one station for every twenty-five square kilometres, and that this grid would be extended to other cities in the National Capital Region. Readings reach the public through the board's server and the SAMEER mobile application.

The correct answer is Shastri Park, where the Delhi Pollution Control Committee has set up its AI-enabled Integrated Command and Control Centre, visited by the Union Environment Minister and the Delhi Chief Minister. The centre acts as a single digital platform bringing together data on air quality, dust control sites, ambient noise, industrial emissions, stubble burning incidents, citizen grievances and enforcement vehicles, and uses cameras and location tracking for round-the-clock watch. It is designed to link fifteen external data systems, of which nine have been connected and the remaining six are being added in phases. Option A, Anand Vihar, is the pollution hotspot the leaders reviewed and the place where the electric buses were flagged off, not the location of the centre. Options C and D, Keshopur and Nand Nagri, are two of the five depots where public electric vehicle charging stations were opened the same day.
