That is what the Delhi High Court seems to be telling
Delhi Government !
It is telling Delhi Government :
" Before extending the odd-even rule beyond 15th
Jan , tell us how much did it improve the AQI level in Delhi during the past 10
days "
Poor Mr Gopal Rai !
Not being an expert on Air Pollution , he cannot say :
" Your
Honour !
It would take
many months of such experimentation to conclude how much AQI improves by
removing 10 lakh vehicles from the roads
And it will take a few years to :
* Build separate
lanes for BRTS / Bicycles
* Introduce
10,000 buses ( Public Transport )
* Introduce many
more Metro lines
* Introduce FREE
bicycles which can be picked up / used / left anywhere by public
* Introduce CNG
driven vehicles / CNG filling stations by hundreds
* Introduce
electric cars which re-charge from power generated by Solar (not fossil power )
* Dismantle
fossil fuel powered power plants ( contribution = 21 % )
* Pave those
unpaved roads ( contribution = 17.8 % )
* Sprinkle water
on already paved roads ( contribution = 11.8 % )
* Stop open
burning of Landfills ( contribution =
10.8 % )
* Stop
Construction caused dust ( contribution
= 8.54 % )
* Stop smoke
from Bakery Chimneys ( contribution = 5.8 % )
* Stop Stone
Crusher dust ( contribution = 5.2 % )
* Remove ALL
vehicles from the roads ( contribution = 5.8 % )
* Introduce
staggered working hours in offices / factories
* Cover entire
Delhi city with 100 Mbps FREE Wi-Fi , so that working from homes become
possible thru Skype / Face Time etc
* Make all
educational content available ( free ) over Google Loon / Amazon Drones , so
that all schools and colleges can be shut down
* Introduce
online purchase of all goods / services so people do not need go shopping and
all deliveries are through drones
{ Although , Pollution Contribution % mentioned above ,
are for Mumbai , as estimated by CPCB / NEERI , and reported in Times of India
/ 08 Jan 2016 , situation is same in Delhi
}
Your Honour ,
Do you want us to take up only ONE remedial measure AT
A TIME , to see how much contribution does it make towards improvement of AQI ,
while holding other factors " constant " , as at present ?
How many DAYS will you allow us to isolate the
improvement due to each factor ?
Between two experiments, how many days shall we return
to " Status Quo Ante " ?
We request Your Honour to make Lt Governor of Delhi / National Green Tribunal
/ Environment Ministry / Transport Ministry etc , a party to this litigation
and pass appropriate ORDERS in this matter ,which are binding on all ( and not
merely " guiding " ) "
