CSE lambasts auto industry for misleading public on vehicular pollution

New Delhi, May 5 (IBNS): Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has condemned the "misleading number game and motivated campaign of the auto industry to claim that vehicles in Delhi are an insignificant source of pollution and should be left alone."

While presenting the impact of the second phase of action and the way forward in the Capital on Thursday, the CSE has underscored that while new action has started to results, this cannot be derailed.

"The city has to step up action on all key sources of pollution including vehicles to meet clean air target throughout the year," a CSE release said.

"It is ironical that now when action has started to show results to curb the killer air pollution in the city detractors are out to derail the process. Instead of ensuring that the action builds up momentum quickly, motivated campaigns have been launched to subvert the process," the release said.

The CSE has reviewed the status and direction of action and identified areas where stronger action is needed. This only reconfirms that while action on all key sources should be stepped up, vehicles including diesel vehicles will require stringent action as they emit the deadliest toxins within our breathing zone.
