Jaipur has become India’s first city to install an air purifier on its streets, aiming to tackle rising air pollution in the desert state’s capital. Authorities rolled out four towering PAMARES-style units at high-traffic spots, including Jawahar Circle and Tonk Road, each reportedly filtering up to one million cubic metres of air per hour. The initiative, launched overnight on November 12–13, is set to be fully operational by November 15. While the move highlights the city’s attempt to combat pollution, social media users are questioning the effectiveness of these street air purifiers and suggesting that alternatives such as tree plantations might be more practical.

Netizens React to Jaipur’s Air Purifier on Streets
Jaipur installing “air purifiers” on streets is peak stupidity. You don’t fix toxic air by burning taxpayer money on gadgets that barely clean a tiny radius. You fix emissions, enforcement, and planning. This is PR, not pollution control. https://t.co/UGDr09X8Rn

instead of reducing emissions or improving public transport, jaipur decided to waste money on air purifiers that’ll clean 2 meters of air and 0 meters of logic. https://t.co/VaoFsrOSTl
