Delhi’s 13 most polluted hotspots will need fresh and “immediate” action plans that will list all measures that can be undertaken in October itself, the Supreme Court-mandated Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority has told Delhi Pollution Control Committee and Central Pollution Control Board. At a review meeting ahead of the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan, EPCA on Monday said the action plans formulated for these hotspots were too “detailed” and could not be executed immediately. Instead, it sought two plans for each hotspot to be implemented to keep a check on pollution.
