Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that 34,411 complaints have been received through Green Delhi App so far, out of which, more than 32,897 complaints have been resolved.

Gopal Rai also stated that any Delhi citizen can complain about pollution through the Green Delhi App. The government ensures immediate action on the basis of the type of complaint received through the app.
Speaking about the importance of the Green Delhi App, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said, “The Green Delhi App is the most important link in our fight against pollution, as it directly connects the two crore people of Delhi to the Government’s war on pollution. Any citizen in Delhi can complain about incidents of pollution they witness through this app, depending on which the government takes further action.
The app is a joint platform of 27 departments of Delhi. All 27 departments are responsible to take joint action with respect to the complaints received via the Green Delhi App. The platform includes departments of the Central Government, the Delhi Government, as well as the Municipal Corporation.
