Lately we came across various environment related talks, meetings and so on. Indian principal court has given some stiff rules to obey
on controlling air pollution in capital of India, Delhi, may be essential and
unavoidable.
Then, I anticipate hitches in implementing the complicated
rules laid.
-How ban on private cars will reduce and help the city
to overcome huge air pollution disorder?
-Are we missing the target?
-Are we complicating city’s socio-economic &
cultural scenario?
-Can the order of court be followed or implemented
with existing public transport model?
Well, we must be having better ideas. Great Indian ideas! Indian
juggadbazzi….yes we have!
I am just hoarding up few easy ways which I have distinguished
from people around me. I believe these are better ways to handle pollution of
air. Indiawalle let’s do it and
question for it.
Develop Cycle Lanes—
This one is great idea. I don’t know why India do
not have cycle lanes across cities or when road models are build cycle lanes
should be given priority and extra attention. With safe cycle lanes people will
be motivated as use of cycle not only save money but also improves health a
lot.
Rise parking charges—
Oho, this may sound little different
but not a bad idea as increase in parking charges will make vehicle users to
reduce the use and so the less pollution.
Citizens should have
proper footpaths—
By providing good footpaths, clean subways, and zebra crossing. These
will motivate pedestrian’s to walk, with better subways and walk paths use of
public transport will increase. I do not see any hurdle in improving this
kind of infrastructure across nation. Do you feel any issue in this?
Efficient Public Transport
network—
Indian cities are in need of super strong network
of public transportation. The government should consider introducing more ecofriendly
buses, special buses for senior citizens & physically challenged. More
number of sub-urban trains and metros too can be introduced. A better public
transport certainly helps to reduce the private vehicles.
Only people zones—
Identify and develop only pedestrian zones or only people zone, especially
where huge crowded shopping places exist. This will discourage the vehicle
users to use vehicles for shopping and so reduces the pollution.
Rise vehicle fuel
prices—
Smiling….well you feel this is already implemented but certainly rise in
petrol and diesel prices may contribute to reduce the vehicle usage. And moreover
don’t forget we are exploiting natural resources.
