Statements regarding the air pollution crisis have strongly criticised the government for its ‘complete inaction’ in controlling air quality in the NCR. Questioning the refusal to adhere to WHO guidelines, the speaker asked, ‘Where is the new standard? What is the new standard?’ and highlighted that Indian cities are failing benchmarks. It was argued that the government is in denial and trying to avoid embarrassment by claiming to have its own standards. The effectiveness of the CAQM was also questioned, with a demand for specific AQI targets for Delhi for the coming years. Highlighting the lack of accountability, the speaker noted, ‘I have written to the Supreme Court… where is the punishment for the derelict official?’ The comments emphasised that if the government follows WHO on other health issues, it should not ignore air quality norms.
