New Delhi [India], November 9 (ANI): Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Monday suggested measures to tackle air pollution in Delhi-NCR through the implementation of a Graded Response Action Plan for the city.
As per the official notification of the pollution control board, a Sub-committee convened a meeting on Monday and reviewed air quality status as well as meteorological and air pollution forecasts for Delhi-NCR.
"As per IMD's forecast, winds are expected to be northwesterly for the next five days which may possibly lead to a high contribution of stubble burning. In addition, unfavourable meteorology may cause air quality to fluctuate between 'severe and higher end of the very poor category' in the coming days," read the notification.
The CPCB has directed the concerned agencies to strictly enforce actions based on the decisions made by the sub-committee.
Actions under 'severe category', in addition to steps listed under 'very poor' and 'poor to moderate' AQI categories should be implemented with immediate effect in Delhi-NCR, the board said.
