Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan yesterday informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that the government has formulated the NCAP to tackle the increasing air pollution in the country.
Welcoming the move by the Environment Ministry, Greenpeace India's campaigner Sunil Dahiya said: "NCAP is an important first step towards ensuring clean air for India."
He said it was imperative to have "measurable, focused and precise" targets with clear timelines and demonstrable accountability towards public health, to make the programme a national-level initative.
