An anti-smog gun operating at a road construction site near Pragati Maidan on Bhagwan Das Road, New Delhi, India. The machine sprays a fine mist of water into the air to help suppress dust generated by ongoing construction activities. Visible in the background is the Additional Building Complex of the Supreme Court of India, one of the capital's major judicial landmarks. Construction machinery, work zones, and traffic infrastructure illustrate the continuing urban development in the area, while the anti-smog gun demonstrates a dust-control measure commonly used at large infrastructure projects.
