Analysis by who on air pollution :-

between 1991 and 1994 Delhi, the capital of India,because it is one of the world's most polluted cities.

the average total suspended particulate (TSP)

level in Delhi was 378 micrograms per cubicmeter--approximately five times the World HealthOrganization's (WHO) annual average standard.

over 70 percent of all deaths occur before theAge of 65, with over 20 percent occurring

before the age of five.


7/20

Impact of air pollution and Delhi

In Delhi, they have thegreatest impact in the 15-to-44 age group. That meansthat for each deathassociated with air pollution,

on average more life-yearswould be saved in Delhi thanin the United States

DTC andSupreme courtdecision

The Supreme Court of India took over the responsibility andissued on July 28, 1998 a time frame for measures to betaken.In March, 2001, the Supreme Court asked the EPCA[Bhurelal committee] to examine as to which fuels can be

regarded as clean fuel. Also, the other organization andassociation namely Tata Energy Research Institute, IndianInstitute of Technology and Center for Science andEnvironment, were asked to give their views to this

committee.In August 2001, the Bhurelal Committeerecommended to the Supreme Court that CNG and LPG areenvironmentally acceptable auto fuels for Delhi.In April2002, the Supreme Court rejected the plea of shortage of

CNG anddirected the phasing out of diesel buses.

With respect to the scope of the InfoPool the following orders are of interest:

Replacement of all pre-1990 autos and taxis with new

vehicles using clean fuels by March 31, 2000.

Financial incentives for replacement of all post-1990 autos

and taxis with new vehicles on clean fuels by March 31, 2001

No buses more than eight years old to ply except on CNG or

other clean fuels, by March 31, 2000

Entire city bus fleet (DTC and private) to be steadily

converted to single fuel mode on CNG by March 31, 2001

New interstate bus terminals (ISBT) to be built at entry

points in the north and southwest to avoid pollution due to

entry of inter-state buses by March 31, 2000


10/20

Gas Authority of India Ltd. to expand its CNG dispensing

capacity from nine stations to 80 by March 31, 2001.

Two independent fuel testing labs to be established by June

1, 1999.

Automatic inspection and maintenance (I&M) facilities to be

set up for commercial vehicles in the first phase,immediately.

Comprehensive I&M programs to be started by transport

department and private sector by March 31, 2001.

After SC decision and DTC implementation

CNG being lead/sulphur free, its use substantially reduces harmfulengine emissions. Besides, the operational cost of vehicles running onCNG, as compared to those running on other fuels, is amazingly low.

December 2002: New 12-inch pipeline spanning 23.8 Kms in West Delhi

marking12 stations online commissioned

April 2003: 110 CNG stations from 94 stations in march 2002.

PRESENT SCENARIO

The fight against air pollution in the capital, which began in right earnest in 1997,finally started yielding results.

Britain took 30 years to accomplish, we have taken over in 5years.


15/20

The annual average of 42 mg/m3 of Sulphur Dioxide in the year 1996 came down toas much as 18 mg/m3 during 2002

NO2 came down from 75mg/m3 in 1996 to 59 mg/m3 in 2000.

The concentration of Carbon Monoxide has fallen by 32 per cent; Sulphur Dioxidelevels have fallen by 39 per cent in 2002 as compared to 1997.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There are many lessons which can be drawn from the existing pilot

stretch from Dr. Ambedkar Nagar to Moolchand. Some of thesuggestions are as follows:

1. Enabling connectivity of residential places and commercial hubs

with BRT corridors, such as through feeder buses, provision of cycles

for rent. Parking facilities near BRT corridors is being considered inthe near future; however, it may not be a favourable option, due tolimited space availability on roads.

2. Increase width of the road by an amount equal to the width ofmedian construction.

3. An effort may be made to separate corridors in a flexible way (andnot by physical construction) and enable maintenance of lane

discipline through enforcement of rules.


17/20

CONT

4. Timers at all traffic signals on the corridor are extremely necessary

to ensure safety of pedestrians and bus commuters crossing roads.

5. As suggested by DIMTS Ltd., it is necessary to enact a special BRTpolicy to regulate the system under fixed laws and rules.

6. Greater involvement of transport planning experts, such asexperienced profs from SPA, CRRI etc. in conceptualization anddesigning, in order to have different views on the system and itsworking.

7. it is absolutely pertinent to speed up the process of purchase of newbuses, in order to meet the rising demand, encourage people to leavetheir cars at home and make the BRTS more effective as a system.

8. A very valuable suggestion proposed by DIMTS, which is:

the agency should install an intelligent traffic signaling system withvehicle trackin facilit .


18/20

APPEAL

1 .Use public transport more & more

2. This plan should be implemented in every city which is highlyaffected by the air pollution.

3. Regular check up of vehicles regarding the combustion of fuel

4. Be ecofriendly
