| DELHI’S ANTI-POLLUTION PLAN IN REVIVAL MODE |
| Correspondent

| NEW DELHI After lying in a cold storage for five years, an ambitious anti-pollution plan of the erstwhile Sheila Dikshit government is set to get a fresh lease of life. The Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority plans to build on its suggestions in preparing a fresh roadmap to clean the city’s foul air.
The 10-point action plan had envisaged to augment the city’s bus fleet to 15,000, set up 14 bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors by 2016, introduce variable time-based parking rates, increase road tax on private vehicles and ensure an early roll out of Euro VI emission standards.
Prepared in February 2012, it had even highlighted the need to introduce mechanical or vacuumbased street sweeping, a proposal which has gained currency in the recent months, without much success on ground.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) chief Sunita Narain, a member of EPCA, said it would be taken up along with the 42-point action plan of the Union Environment Ministry and CSE’s own action plan in preparing a fresh consolidated roadmap towards improving the city's air quality.
