Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the questions that are based on the passage.
Recently, India was in the news again as a world leader –
but this time for the wrong reason. According to the Swiss
firm IQAir’s assessment of the air quality of world cities
2023, New Delhi is back to being the world’s most polluted
capital. New Delhi’s annual air quality rating is 19 times
the World Health Organization’s annual limit
recommended in 2021 for its pollutant level. The picture
is no better as far as the larger Union Territory of Delhi is
considered – its annual record of pollutant levels makes it
the third most polluted region globally.
Delhi may have hogged the headlines on air pollution, but
the problem is far from unique to metropolises. IQAir’s
findings reveal that even lower-tier cities and towns in
India are choking because of very poor air quality. Indeed,
Begusarai in Bihar is the world’s most polluted city. Partly
industrialized, housing among others an oil refinery,
Begusarai is primarily agrarian. And Begusarai is not an
outlier: Mullanpur in Punjab, which is transitioning to an
urban settlement, and Siwan in Bihar are among the 42
Indian cities/towns that are among the 50 most polluted
globally.
Many judicial pronouncements have upheld “the right to
clean air” as a corollary to the fundamental right to life and
pushed governments to act. But Delhi’s bad air is despite the introduction of CNG in
public
transport and the building of a metro network in the early years of this
decade, and in spite of the presence of a Graded Response
Action Plan (GRAP) that kicks in when the air quality turns
bad and becomes more stringent as the air quality
worsens.
Improving air quality across Indian cities requires three
fundamental changes. One, governments must turn to
science to understand, measure, and monitor the problem.
Two, they have to understand that the response will have
to include behavioural changes and use a combination of
incentives and penalties to achieve this. And three, clean
air has to be seen as a common public good. To be sure, it
is not just the responsibility of the Centre or a battle for
courts to wage, but a fight that states and municipal
governments have to be a part of. This is the battle for our
future
