Odd-Even scheme or new Japanese technology? What will be the best help for Delhi people to get rid of hazardous and poisonous air pollution.
As pollution levels in the national capital is close to emergency levels, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the the odd-even scheme could be extended, which is supposed to be end on November 15. We will extend it, if required Kejriwal said to media.
Delhi-NCR gasped for breath today as the noxious smog resulting from raging farm fires and unfavourable weather pushed pollution levels in the region towards the “emergency” zone for the third time in the last 15 days. Kejriwal blamed stubble burning in neighbouring states for repeated episodes of smog in Delhi and said it has hit Delhi’s image worldwide.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court today slammed the Centre over the issue of air pollution in the capital and other parts of north India. The top court has asked the government to explore the possibility of using hydrogen-based fuel technology to find solutions to combat air pollution.
The government told the court that it is exploring technology, including those from Japan, to tackle air pollution. As a university in Japan conducted a research keeping in view the air pollution in the National Capital Region and northern India. Their research is quite innovative and the government thinks it can use the technology to combat the prevailing pollution levels in the region. A researcher from a university in Japan, Mr Vishwanath Joshi, who apprised it about the hydrogen-based technology that has the potential to eradicate air pollution.
It’s a high time for the Delhi government to take some serious steps in regards to this air pollution. As slowly and gradually it’s becoming lethal for Delhites. Moreover, Delhi Vidhan sabha elections are approaching, therefore, Delhi government needs to pull up their socks.
