GRAP temporary emergency measure, need enforcement of rules & penal action to tackle air pollution: Experts

IndiaTimes Monday, 6 November 2023
Experts have highlighted the inadequate implementation and enforcement of existing rules as the weakest link in the fight against air pollution in Delhi-NCR. They suggest that real action should be taken to address vehicular pollution, industrial emissions, waste burning, and construction/demolition dust, rather than focusing solely on episodic events like stubble burning. The experts also emphasize the need for a regional approach to pollution control, as air pollutants do not have boundaries.
