Greenpeace: Lack of pollution targets in draft |
India`s Environment minister Harsh Vardhan in February had said the ministry hopes to bring down air pollution in around 100 non-attainment cities by 50 per cent in the next five years under the NCAP. The absence of pollution reduction targets of 35 per cent in three years and 50 per cent in five years in the draft National Clean Air Program (NCAP) of the Environment Ministry is a cause of “grave concern”, Greenpeace India said. The comments of the green body came after the ministry released the draft of the NCAP, proposing multiple strategies to reduce air pollution and inviting comments from various stakeholders by May.
