India, Oct. 27 -- The second phase of a New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) project was launched on Sunday, with the mist spraying systems operationalised on Shanti Path and Africa Avenue, functionaries of the agency said. This follows the successful completion of the first phase at Lodhi Road.

According to NDMC, 30 electric poles have been equipped with sprayers along an 850-metre stretch at Africa Avenue. Each pole has 5 nozzles, and each nozzle has 6 tiny holes, enabling 30 spray points per pole. Every pole uses approximately 84 liters of treated water per hour, supported by four 5,000-litre storage tanks. A similar setup has been installed along a 900-metre stretch of Shanti Path with 32 poles.
