 1. Back ground:
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) prepared a list of non-attainment cities/towns based
on the Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) data with respect to Particulate Matter Concentration for
the years 2011-2015. According to which Telangana state is having three non-attainment
cities/towns (Hyderabad, Nalgonda and Patancheruvu). The CPCB issued directions under
section 18(I)(b) of Air (prevention and control) Act to the Chairman, TSPCB dated:01.07.2016
with various action points and time frame for implementation to lower the air pollution in
the non attainment cities in the country. Also, a 42 point action plan was attached for
preparation of the action plan.

Accordingly, TSPCB issued directions to the stakeholder departments i.e. MA&UD,

Transport, Police, Civil supplies, Revenue Department, GHMC, etc, for submitting time
bound action plan for the action points with respect to their departments. The concerned
departments submitted action plan, which are consolidated by TSPCB.

The action points and time frame for implementation for various activities was reviewed by
the Chairman, TSPCB with all the stake holder departments on 11.01.2017. In Telangana
state 3 non attainment cities / town are listed by CPCB Hyderabad, Patancheruvu and
Nalgonda. A common action plan was prepared for the Hyderabad and Patancheruvu as the
later falls under GHMC area. The action plan was forwarded to the CPCB on 10.03.2017.

The Hon’ble NGT in OA No.681/2018, dt.6-08-2019 issued the following directions in the
above order:

I. Hon’ble NGT orders in OA No.681/2018, dated ) 6-08-2019:

CPCB, SPCBs and PCCs need to ensure assessment and installation of the requisite
number of real time Online Continuous AAQMS within six months from today and
indicate progress in this regard before the next date.

The Expert Team of CPCB to design a model/SOP for source apportionment and
carrying capacity assessment within two months which may be replicated for all the
NACs. In the light of such study, further action may need to be considered by
MoEF&CC within three months thereafter in terms of regulating the number of
vehicles, action in terms of shift to vehicles and CNG vehicles, intensifying public
transport system, mechanical cleaning of roads, enhancement of public parking
facilities etc., improvement in fuel quality and traffic management, regulation of
construction activities, strict adherence to sitting guidelines with regard to stone

5
crushers, mining, brick kilns, thermal power plants, coal handling, air polluting
industries, hot mix plants, etc. Besides, activities like crop burning and burning of
trash wood/leaves/debris for heating in winters to be strictly regulated and violations
penalized as has been done by notifications for ESZ, CRZ, Ganga Flood plains etc.

Concerned Town & Country Planning departments (with whatever be the name in the
State) of all the States/UTs may ensure review of maser plans specially for the NACs
to be consistent with carrying capacity and source apportionment study reports
within six months of such reports being available and furnish compliance reports to
this Tribunal and CPCB.
Concerned States may evolve enforcement mechanism for closing/shifting of
industrial units other than household industries from residential/non conforming
areas in the light of law laid down in M.C. Mehta vs Union of India, (2004) 6SCC 588.

SPCBs/PCCs need to develop interactive public grievance redressal portals on the

pattern of CPCB portal “Sameer” within two months if not already done.

Actions Plans need to be prepared by States for the additional 20 NACs on the
pattern of 102 NACs within three months and after its approval by CPCB within two
months, States must initiate time bound action on remediation within next three
months.

CPCB may finalize the pending action plans within two months. Environmental
compensation may be deposited by the defaulting States in terms of our order dated
15.03.2019 with the CPCB.

Timeline prescribed for reviewing action plans with regard to its report dated
15.07.2019 by the CPCB for further micro planning may be reduced from six months,
preferably to four months. CPCB may give appropriate directions to the SPCBs/PCCs
accordingly.

CPCB must forthwith come out with a compensation regime within two months for
air as well as noise pollution to the extent such norms have not yet been laid down.

Having regard to adverse impact on public health and constitutional mandate that
right to clean air is a fundamental right, the MoEF&CC may modify the NCAP by
reducing the timelines and increasing the target for reduction of air pollution.

Noise Limiters need to be installed on potential noise polluting devices, including

retrofitting the existing devices. Appropriate directions be issued by the States/UTs
within three months in the same manner as directed by this Tribunal for Delhi vide
order dated 01.08.2019 in O.A. No. 519/2016, Hardeep Singh & Ors. vs SDMC & Ors.

The CPCB may also evaluate existing air quality monitoring mechanism of all States

It may be noted from the above that, the PM10 concentration are continuously exceeding
the annual standards. TSPCB has addressed the district administration of Sanga Reddy for
preparation of draft Action plan to reduce the air pollution. The draft action plan as
communicated is slightly modified to fit into the existing format. The details of the action
plan is as follows:

c) Air Quality Index: TSPCB is preparing the air quality index for the Ambient Air Quality. The
AQI of CAAQMS is available on the TSPCB website on daily basis and that of the Manual
Stations data is available on weekly basis in the website. The AQI of Hyderabad was
prepared from the year 2011 onwards to understand the trends of the quality of the air at
each of the monitoring location. The details of the AQI is given below in Table-1 and the
monthly AQI for the year 2018 is placed in Table -2 understand the seasonal variations in
the AQI:

Major Sources of Air Pollution:

Vehicles: The major source contributing to Particulate Matter air pollution is Vehicles for
both the PM10 & PM2.5.

Road Dust: The second major contributor for the particulate matter pollution is Road dust in
case of the PM10.This may be attributed not only to poor maintenance of the road, but also
due to the movement of the vehicles on the unpaved shoulders leaving the carriage way
where the roads are not paved.

Bio Mass Burning: Open burning of the biomass

Secondary Pollutants: The secondary pollutants due to various chemical reactions in the
atmosphere lead to formation of the particulate matter.

4. Action Plan for reducing the air pollution:

The AQMC has approved the action plan prepared in consultation with the stake holder
departments, during the meeting held on 4th November, 2019 and the Committee on
perusal of the National Clean Air Program has recommended to adopt the tentative National
level target of 20%–30% reduction of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024 keeping 2017
as base year for Sangareddy.

The approved action plan for Sangareddy is as follows.
