New Delhi: The government on Friday introduces bills in Lok Sabha to replace the regulation of the Constitution of the Air Quality Management Commission in Delhi-NCR and adjacent areas, free farmers from strong punishment to RS 1 Crore and Jail to burn stumps but maintain the provisions for “environmental compensation”.
The proposed law is intended to establish the Air Quality Management Commission (CAQM) to overcome the entire range of problems related to air pollution in Delhi-NCR through existing legal, monitoring and law enforcement decisions to mitigate problems.
Caqm is currently working, drawing its strength from regulations.
Meanwhile, trade unions, continue to protest because the government has maintained provisions that impose and collect ‘environmental compensation’ of “farmers who cause air pollution by burning arrears, at such levels, as prescribed” in the bill.
Although farmers will avoid penalties and prisons for up to five years, which apply to other pollutants such as industry, power plants, transportation and construction sectors, there may be fine by ‘environmental compensation’, levels and modalities.
Collections can be prescribed in legislation rules after being an action.
The farming union has demanded a decline in penalty provisions since the regulation was first promised in October last year.
The center, remembering requests and agitatization, has tweaked regulations in April when it was announced again.
It dropped the penalty provisions and took a soft approach by introducing the ‘environmental compensation’ clause as part 15 – issued by farmers’ unions now to express their sadness.
After the introduction of the bill by the Minister of Environment Bhupender Yadav at Lok Sabha in the midst of continuing opposition protests, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) – platform with unions who were nervous about revoking agricultural law – called exhibition (Part 15) that cannot be accepted similar to ” deny the commitment that has been made “.
The union did not appear to be satisfied even when part 14 The bill clearly recorded that the provisions of the penalty “did not apply to farmers to cause air pollution by burning arrears or mismanagement of agricultural residues”.
Birds of mounts in Punjab and Haryana are the main reasons for a surge in air pollution in Delhi-NCR during the early winter, which coincides with the rice harvest season in these countries.
The government has justified taking the procedure route to regulate CAQM when parliament is not in the session, on the grounds that the step is needed for “effective air quality management” in NCR and side by side scattered in four states – Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab.
