Rajya Sabha passes Bill for commission for air quality management in NCR

Several MPs raised concerns over the clause on collection of environmental compensation, including those who have supported the Bill. Others pointed out that the commission should look at air pollution in other parts of the country as well.

Responding, minister Yadav said, “Members have raised concern on Clause 15. I would like to point out that Clause 14 says this will not apply to farmers for stubble burning. We have decriminalised this Bill completely.”
