Which body implements the Graded Response Action Plan in the National Capital Region?
- A.Central Pollution Control Board
- B.Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas
- C.WWF-India
- D.Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas, known by its short form CAQM, which was applying measures under the Graded Response Action Plan across the region to prevent any further decline in air quality, and citizens were urged to support those efforts and follow the curbs in force. Option A is wrong because the Central Pollution Control Board is the body that assesses air quality, which it had placed in the Very Poor band for the capital, and which runs the SAMEER application carrying the daily index. Option C is wrong because WWF-India, through its EIACP Programme Centre and Resource Partner, ran the awareness campaign and the pledge, not the regulatory plan. Option D is wrong because the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change supported that campaign rather than implementing the plan itself.
