NITI Aayog has proposed 15-point draft action plan titled “Breathe India” for combating air pollution in ten most polluted cities in the country, including Delhi, Kanpur and Varanasi.
The report further states that nine out of 10 people worldwide breathe polluted air, which causes almost seven million deaths a year.
The 15-point formula includes measures like replacing all petrol-diesel vehicles in use at government offices by electric and hybrid vehicles, streamlining power plants, encouraging solar panels on rooftops schemes.
