Question

List three outcomes of the Delhi pollution case. 

Answer 1

Three outcomes of the Delhi pollution case are:

1. Mandatory CNG Use for Public Transport: The Supreme Court ordered that all public transport vehicles, including buses, taxis, and autorickshaws, be converted to compressed natural gas (CNG), dramatically decreasing vehicular emissions in Delhi.
2. Polluting Industries Closure: The court ordered that extremely polluting industries be closed or relocated away from residential areas to enhance air quality.
3. Implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP): A structured plan was made so that people could do certain things based on the amount of air pollution. When pollution levels were very high, steps were taken to clean up the air, such as limiting building activities, banning diesel generators, and limiting vehicle movement.
