It’ll purify the air within a circumference area of almost 500 meters to 750 meters. It aims at treating 2,50,000 to 6,00000 cubic meter air per day and release fresh air in return. The tower will run on electricity. The ₹7 lakh tower has been procured by Gautam Gambhir Foundation and has been installed with the help of Lajpat Nagar Traders Association. The running cost of the device will be around ₹30,000, which will be borne by the traders’ association.
