Supreme
Court raps CAQM for delaying Stage 4 GRAP curbs as Delhi's pollution worsens
Extract from the article:
The Supreme Court has reprimanded the CAQM for
the procrastination in implementing Stage 4 GRAP curbs
as Delhi's pollution worsens.
Criticism has been directed at the Delhi
government for the delay in enforcing stricter anti-pollution measures under GRAP-4.
The region comprising Delhi and its
surrounding metropolitan area consistently ranks high in global air pollution
levels during winter months.
Alarming spikes in Delhi's Air Quality Index
beyond 450 have pushed the city into the severe pollution category, underscoring the urgent
need for stringent measures to combat the escalating pollution crisis.
My Take:
Delhi in
Doldrums
"The concerns raised years ago about
administrative inaction towards combating pollution in Delhi seem alarmingly
relevant today.
The delay in decisive action, driven by vested interests or
political ambiguity, has perpetuated the
pollution crisis.
The disparity in focus on Delhi's pollution
concerns vis-a-vis other polluted cities raises
pertinent questions about the equitable distribution of environmental attention and remedial
actions."
Dear
Shri Nitin Gadkariji, Here Is...
"Addressing the broader perspective on
air pollution is crucial, transcending regional boundaries.
The suggestion for a comprehensive 'Air Pollution Solution' roadmap echoes the need for a
systematic approach to combatting pollution.
A well-defined plan, as proposed, would
showcase seriousness in tackling the issue and could potentially guide
policymakers towards effective solutions."
Call to Action:
To the concerned administrative agencies in
Delhi and the CAQM:
Time is of essence in combating the escalating pollution crisis in Delhi.
Immediate and proactive implementation of
stringent anti-pollution measures, as directed by the Supreme Court, is
imperative to safeguard public health and uphold environmental well-being.
