Apropos of ‘Ordinance to curb pollution in Delhi’, the air quality in Delhi-NCR has been dismal for a long time, and all efforts to improve it have been in vain. What’s unfortunate is that Delhi’s air pollution, especially during this time of the year, is due to the actions of its neighbouring states. To make this sustainable, what’s required is a shift in the mindset of not only the farmers burning stubble, but also the residents of the states to adopt eco-friendly measures for a better future. It’s only a matter of time before an exodus takes place if sustainable measures are not taken to improve the state of affairs.
Combating air pollution’ points to this hydra-headed environmental problem. So far, all efforts by the apex court or the government to check pollution have yielded only mixed results. Statutory measures in the form of a commission to control the pollution is welcome, but the real test of capability for the administration will lie in providing good and healthy environment at ground zero, as the NCR is the face of India on the move. Let the NCR be divided into small segments to drill a sense of responsibility and awareness. Problems like pollution need cooperation and coordination at various levels.
