Delhi pollution: Sadly, Arvind Kejriwal's emergency plan is old and ineffective -Kanishka Singh

The CM has ordered schools to remain shut for three days and halted construction of roads for five days.

New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced emergency measures for reducing the alarming air pollution levels in the Capital. However, the steps announced seem too little too late. One can recall the orders given last winters by the Supreme Court to reduce air pollution in the city and the chief minister has mostly repeated the same steps without invoking the odd-even plan. The same measures were not implemented properly last year and it seems unlikely that the situation will improve this time.

Kejriwal has chosen to order selective implementation of these orders and not throughout the city like on non-PWD roads–some of which are controlled by the NHAI and others by MCDs, both under the BJP at the Centre and municipal level.

The CM has ordered schools to remain shut for three days and halted construction of roads for five days. Sprinkling of roads is also another step that is announced and vacuum cleaning is supposed to start from November 10 — the Supreme Court had ordered the same before imposing a Diesel ban as well.

However, no visible action was seen on the ground. The vacuum cleaners were supposed to have been acquired last year, but they were nowhere to be seen. As for immediate redressal, vacuum cleaning should have been started much before, at least before things took a turn for the worse. The Supreme Court had instructed the government to ensure that dust from construction sites is curbed from spreading into surrounding areas. The administration has failed here too.
