At the end.
The level of
pollution has increased enormously in recent decades. The level of
contamination was so high that people were causing respiratory problems. The
level of pollution is too high, which cannot be cured by the government alone,
but citizens must also proactively participate to reduce pollution. Particulate
pollution in New Delhi has increased considerably in the last five years. Air
quality improved slightly, but later in the 2015s it increased by 75%. This
sudden increase in pollution is mainly due to the increase in the number of
vehicles during this period.
The National
Green Court ordered DPCC
to take necessary action against all bankrupt industries in different parts of
Delhi. The Court clarified that the power to compensate under the Water
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Law of 1974, the Air (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Law of 1981 and the environmental protection of 1986 is
exercised exclusively by the DPCC. This can no longer be delegated to the local
authority or SDM. They are free to exercise their own legal powers in
accordance with the various legal provisions. Some of them are domestic law,
the code of criminal procedure and others that grant legal powers.
The Supreme
Court had appointed EPCA (Environmental Pollution Prevention and Control
Authority) with Central Pollution Control Board and Delhi Pollution Control
Committee to reduce pollution levels in Delhi-NCR. A draft proposal has been
presented to improve air quality in the state capital, which contains
guidelines and all the effective measures that residents of the region must
take. EPCA has uploaded a final draft for the full plan. The goal is to reduce
air pollution in Delhi-NCR and achieve the annual average PM of 70 percent to
meet the general standard of clean air and protect public health.
