New Delhi, 10th Dec. Congress MP Amee Yagnik will move a resolution in the Rajya Sabha on Friday demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to curb pollution.
Whereas BJP MPs Rakesh Sinha and Vijaypal Singh Tomar will demand a law to stop food wastage and population control.
Amee Yajnik said, “Take steps to form a Joint Parliamentary Committee to work with all stakeholders and set a timeline to present a comprehensive report on the current status of air, water and land pollution in our country.”
The resolution said that several reports suggest that India has the world’s worst air pollution and toxic air that kills more than one million people every year. The smoggy air cloaking India’s 22 most populated cities often contains dangerously high levels of fine particulate matter, known as PM 2.5, which have been linked to lung and heart diseases and are known to impair cognitive functions and the immune system. New Delhi recorded the highest concentration of PM 2.5 particles till date, at 14 times the safe limit outlined by the World Health Organisation (WHO).”
BJP MP Rakesh Sinha will move a resolution, “stop food wastage through massive awareness campaigns, open chains of food banks and frame a law to curb food waste.”
BJP MP Vijaypal Singh Tomar will move a proposal on population control, “Prepare a stringent population policy to stop the exponential increase in population and uncontrolled migration of rural population to cities; invent new contraceptives and motivate the common people to use contraceptives.”
