not being followed due to : high
competition in the market and
inadequate enforcement of statutes.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Back to Areas Of Focus
GREEN TELECOM - SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Telecom operators need to reduce the transmitted signalpower especially in the dense urban areas. Further stepsneeded:
Diesel generators to be replaced with solar power
Concept of Carbon credits can be linked to taxation
Radiation measurements after reduction of the transmittedpower; if still found to be high:
Tower Density to be optimized and standardized
Height of the towers to be standardized
Concept of Tower sharing to be enforced stringently.
Back to Areas Of Focus
WATER-RELATED PROBLEMS
Minimal to no government water supply in many areas.
Boring water unfit for domestic use -
complains of Gastro-enteritis,
Goitre and Diarrhea common.
Leaking pipelines – drinking water
getting mixed with sewage water.
Over 300 dyeing, printing, chemical,
paper and meat-processing units
discharge untreated effluents into the water sources.
Due to over-exploitation through unrestricted boring, ground water table has sunk from 40 to 80 feet in most areas.
Extensive concretization preventing natural water recharge.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Back to Areas Of Focus
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Quality of effluent discharge
to be strictly monitored by PCB.
Units engaged in contaminating
ground water to be summarily
shut down.
Restrict water usage for
horticulture / car washing –
use of sprinkler systems to be
promoted.
Rain Water Harvesting in
industrial plants and townships to be made mandatory.
Educating the masses, particularly in the slums, aboutwater use optimization, common symptoms of water -borne diseases, sensitization towards rationing of water.

Poor condition of link roads
Insufficient and poor publictransportation systems
The city currently has only 2.57 kmCity Metro network for a populationof 4.60 Mn
Lack of organized
parking leading to
on-street parking and
congestion of traffic.
ERGONOMICAL
Back to Areas Of Focus

Emphasis on improving the condition oflink roads.
Improved linkage between neighboringcities through the Metro Rail – shallreduce vehicular traffic in major cities.
Encourage pooling of personnelvehicles - introducing concepts such asCar - Sharing.
Relocating all roadside
vendors to strategically
located Convenient
Shopping Centers (CSCs).

CONVENTIONAL FUELS TO CLEANER FUELSActions Taken
Natural Gas pipeline laid over nearly 5000 Inch-Kms inmany colonies and industrial areas.
Consumers have shifted from use of LPG Cylinders to PNGfor domestic use and substituting LDO, FO, Fossil Fuels byCNG in industry.
Budget allocations according to expansion plans ofIndraprastha Gas Ltd. – the city gas distribution utility arecontinuously reviewed by the Govt.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Back to Areas Of Focus
LPG use in my own home.Other eco-initiatives by IGL- Setting up CNG Stations
CONVENTIONAL TO CLEANER FUELS Social and Environmental Benefits
Natural Gas (CH4) is one of the most clean and safe fuels.
Combustion results in virtually no atmospheric emissionsof Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), and far lower emissions ofCarbon Monoxide (CO), Reactive Hydrocarbons andCarbon Dioxide (CO2)- all GHGs.
Reduced load on transport of cylinders from source toend user results in reduced pollution at every stage.
Low chances of spillage and pilferage.
Robust piped gas system leads
to zero hoarding.
