Delhi-NCR air quality commission: Order, order to new order -Anumita Roychowdhury

-Down to Earth

As the new ordinance seeks curtailment of judicial intervention, the executive faces the real challenge of pushing difficult and inconvenient solutions to clean air

President Ramnath Kovind has signed a new ordinance to form a commission for air-quality management in the National Capital Region (NCR) and adjoining areas.

This move, in one sweep, erases all other committees and authorities that were set up under judicial and administrative orders, seeks to limit the role of the judiciary and creates a supra-centralised framework for air-quality management in the region.

As this seeks to enhance the role and responsibility of the executive in the matter of air pollution control, curiosity abounds on how the executive will now move towards tougher decisions.  

Recognising that air pollution requires action at air-shed level, the ordinance asks for consolidated approach towards monitoring, elimination of pollution sources and enforcement. The commission will have the power to coordinate with relevant state and central governments on the multi-sector plan including industry, power plants, agriculture, transport, residential and construction.
