Municipal Commissioner announces measures to improve air quality in Lucknow
The Municipal Commissioner of Lucknow, Inderjit Singh, has announced a series of measures to tackle air pollution in the city. These measures aim to monitor and improve the Air Quality Index (AQI), reduce emissions from vehicles, control dust and particulate matter, and promote eco-friendly practices among residents.
Control room for monitoring AQI
A control room will be set up at six locations in Lucknow to monitor the Air Quality Index (AQI) in real-time. This will help authorities take timely action to address any deterioration in air quality.
Sprinkling water on busy traffic routes
To mitigate dust and particulate matter on busy traffic routes, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) will continue sprinkling water on the roads. This will help reduce air pollution caused by vehicular movement.
Restriction on old vehicles
The Regional Transport Office (RTO) will enforce a restriction on vehicles that are more than 15 years old or do not have pollution certificates. These vehicles will not be allowed to ply in the state capital, thereby reducing emissions from older vehicles.
Phasing out of old buses
The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has been directed to phase out buses that exceed the 15-year limit. This will help reduce emissions from older public transport vehicles.
Punitive measures against polluting industries and construction sites
The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board will take punitive measures against industries and construction sites that contribute to air pollution. This will help ensure that these entities adhere to pollution control norms and reduce their impact on air quality.
Traffic decongestion measures
The police and traffic department will implement measures to decongest traffic in Lucknow. This will help reduce vehicular emissions and improve overall air quality in the city.
Promoting eco-friendly practices
The plan also emphasizes the importance of encouraging residents to adopt eco-friendly practices. Municipal Commissioner Inderjit Singh has urged residents to take initiatives that contribute to reducing air pollution and improving the city’s environment.
In conclusion, the Municipal Commissioner of Lucknow has announced a comprehensive plan to tackle air pollution in the city.
