Environment, Forest and
Climate Change Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that the government
has set a target to reduce air pollution by 20 to 30 per cent by 2024
under National Clean Air Programme.
Speaking at the signing of the MoU for
132 identified cities for implementation of city specific action plans
to reduce air pollution, Mr Javadekar said, under the programme, there
is a target to improve air quality in 100 cities. He said, our
collective aim is to combat pollution by working on an individual, state
and national level to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of
Swachh Vayu and Swachh Bharat a reality.
The Minister said, the centre has sanctioned electric buses for 62 cities but it is operational in only 20 cities. Mr Javadekar said, he has also written a letter to the state governments for use of electric buses as these are very helpful in reducing air pollution.
