  • “A day will come when there will be no petrol-diesel pumps”: Nitin Gadkari at NDTV-Dettol “Banega Swasth India” program

    New Delhi:

    Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari congratulated NDTV for the “Banega Swasth India” campaign. Gadkari has been associated with this program every time for the last few years. When the Union Minister was asked, how important is it to think about things like health, understand them and because you are in the government, make it the center point and work? On this he said that there are three important pillars of our society – Ethics, Economy and Ecological Environment. And due to air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution, our health is adversely affected. The government is bringing such a policy, which will help in reducing pollution.

    Referring to the ill effects of pollution, Nitin Gadkari said that when a study was done on pollution in cities like Delhi, it was found that due to this our life is being reduced by 10 years. Therefore, I suggest that the Swastha Bharat Abhiyan started by Mahatma Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took this campaign forward seriously, then we should create value in the waste. This time for 2nd October, we have resolved that we are launching a policy for the entire country to use the solid waste in road construction.

    Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, while sharing the Green Vision during NDTV-Dettol Banega Swasth India Season 10, said, “We are making every possible effort to reduce pollution. A day will come when there will be no petrol and diesel pumps. Instead, we will have ethanol pumps and charging stations for electric vehicles. LNG and CNG will be prepared from stubble. The Center has a project to generate ethanol from carbon dioxide. We will gradually reduce the waste and pollution generated. We can build a healthy nation by using technology to create value from the working elements.”

    Nitin Gadkari said that no material is useless and no person is useless. It depends on proper technology and leadership vision that you can convert waste into wealth.

  • Strictness to prevent air pollution: There will be a ban on the use of diesel generators in Delhi-NCR from October 1.

    New Delhi:

    If you live in Delhi-NCR, then you should keep in mind that after September 30, you cannot use diesel generator sets for electricity. This step has been taken to prevent increasing air pollution in Delhi. Due to this, lakhs of people of Delhi NCR are going to face problems. The use of diesel generators for electricity in Delhi NCR will stop from October 1. This is going to cause problems to lakhs of people of Delhi NCR who are dependent on diesel generators in some way or the other.

    Diesel generators run in the society when the lights go off. You have also paid for this. All things are going well with it but what will you do when it gets banned. Now the problem will increase because the deadline given by the government in this regard has not been implemented yet. Let us tell you that the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), which keeps an eye on air pollution in Delhi NCR, gave this instruction. Under this, diesel gensets were banned in all sectors in Delhi NCR. They can no longer be used in industrial, commercial, residential or office areas.

    A complete ban on generators will come into effect from October 1. Graded Response Action Plan is being implemented in Delhi NCR from October 1, under which as pollution increases, the restrictions will become stricter. In June this year, a directive from CAQM had come asking for alternative arrangements by 30th September. Last year, concessions were given in many sectors. Constantly asked to install dual mode fuel i.e. this type of genset which runs on gas as well as diesel. For retrofitment of emission control devices, it has also been said that you should install them so that pollution is reduced.

    The Air Quality Management Commission gave instructions in this regard several times from 2022 to 2023. But it has been difficult to implement these instructions because most of the people do not know what technical changes should be made for the use of CNG or PNG in the diesel genset. In such a situation, it is very natural for people in Delhi NCR to be worried. But in big societies there was information that something like this was coming, preparations could have been made, but now they were not done.

    Why is there a problem now? You should know some of its main reasons and how it will bring a huge difference in your and my life. If the number one side light goes out, lifts in multi-storey buildings may stop. Most lifts have a backup diesel genset in case the lights go out. Not only this, emergency services in hospitals may also be affected. Like problems may arise in ICU and operation theatre. Work in factories and offices may be affected.
