Original Title: Joint Pollution Control Has Not Started The Central Government of India and the Capital of New Delhi Constantly Talking
On the 15th local time, the Indian Central Government told the Supreme Court at a hearing on air pollution in the Indian capital of New Delhi that smoke caused by farmers burning straw accounted for only 10% of the sources of air pollution in New Delhi, and said that industrial and road dust are polluting. A high percentage of sources.
The Indian Supreme Court’s previous order on pollution control stated: “The main culprits of New Delhi’s pollution are industrial, traffic and road dust, and burning straw is part of the reason.” Although the High Court also believes that farmers’ burning of straw is not the main cause of serious air pollution. , But still made a request to Punjab and Haryana, suggesting that the state government does a good job in tracing and banning the burning of straw within a week. The High Court recommended that the central and local states should require people to work from home and persuade farmers not to burn straw. The court also suggested that the central government should hold an emergency meeting involving all states on the 16th to discuss emergency measures together.
Vikas Singh, an attorney for the New Delhi City Government, accused the central government of trying to protect farmers in pollution control. “The central government is trying to protect farmers because they don’t want to dissatisfy farmers like the Punjab government. All this is because of this year. It’s an election year.” Attorney Singh said that the central government’s statement is full of loopholes. The previous day, it wrote in a document on joint pollution control to various states that the contribution rate of straw burning to New Delhi’s pollution was 35%, so measures must be taken to stop the burning of straw. According to figures released by the New Delhi City Government, smog caused by farmers burning straw accounts for about 40% of the sources of air pollution in New Delhi.
