Based on the 2011-2015 data and WHO report of 2014/2018, 102 cities that failed to meet the prescribed standards were identified as non-attainment cities. As per an NGT order dated 08.10.2018, to improve the air quality, the city plans of these "non-attainment cities" were to be submitted to CPCB," a senior CPCB official said.
The official explained that the action plan should clearly mention the short, mid and long term measures for industries, vehicles and other sources, timelines, responsible agencies, budget, among others.
In December last year, a CPCB taskforce had identified 21 hotspots in Delhi and its neighbouring regions and directed the respective area municipal corporations to take "focussed action" to mitigate the pollution effects. Of the 21 hotspots, 15 were in Delhi. The other six were identified at Sector-16A Faridabad, Vikas Sadan Gurugram, Vasundhara, Ghaziabad, Knowledge Park-III, Greater Noida, Sector-125 Noida and RIICO Industrial Area-III, Bhiwadi.
The taskforce, which comprises members of IMD, Delhi Pollution Control Board and Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board, had asked the corporations of Delhi and adjacent areas to take "focussed action in the hotspots". It had also asked all the agencies to ensure "effective implementation of the action plan".
