Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas
Intro
CI
Mulitiplicity of laws and institutions
on the one hand
create more confusion
on the other hand
friction
tendency
to pass blame
btw
SC, EPCA, NGT, CPCB, and SPCB
no one is clear
what needs to be done
Air Pollution
public focus
often on stubble burning
and seasonal firecrackers
crisis is highly complex
multi-disciplinary issue
including
industry, power generation,
construction, stubble-burning
and transport.
MB
BP/GE/IS
lack of law
not a problem in India
problem lies
political will is missing
when it comes
to implemenation
Inability of agencies
CPCB to consistently
enforce rules on the ground
commission
empowered to constitute
special investigate groups
for stricter implementation
Way Ahead
Govt
must undertake
thorough review of various
law and institutions
to look at their efficacy and utility
Detailed consultation
with all relevant stakeholder
especially
those outside Delhi
includes
farmers groups
small scale industries
and public at large
Any Provision
deal with stubble burning
should look at the country
as a whole
not just in punjab and haryana
Implementation Issues
Pollutions control board
professional dont have
adequate resources
necessary specialisation, skills, tools
CPCB
Central Pollution Control Board
well funded and resourced
unlike SPCB
state pollution control boards
in charge of implementation of rules
CPCB writes
Structural and Inter-related issues
shortage of staff
in most SPCBs
SPCBs
dont get develop any specialisation
lack necessary legal skills
to take polluters
underfunded
Engineering graduates
in district SPCB offices
no training in law
lack of legal paperwork
SPCBs single officer
tasked to handle
pollution control
for entire district
without any subordinate
technical staff
additional responsibilites
incharge of inspections
wide range of infrastructure and activities
conducting awarness programmes
unrelated to pollution control
E.g. Haryana´s SPCBs
has poultry farms under its ambit
CJ and IMP cases
Way Ahead
Transparent compensation
scheme for workers
and suitable relief
for producers
longer-term solution
might lie in broad basing
economic activity
in Sivakasi region
reducing reliance
on firecrackers
NGT
prohibited sale and use of firecrakers
during Deepavali
in NCR Delhi
and urban centres
recorded
poor or worse air quality
Tamil Nadu
90% of firecrackers
produced
legitimate concerns
fate of the industry
producers claim
represents about
Rs. 2300 crore worth of output
CON
GI
India must empower
SPCBs to act by giving them
necessary funds, human resources
tools and technologies
