NEW DELHI: The central government s Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and its Adjoining Areas has been shut down within five months of its constitution.
The commission, which was established by the Centre in October last year, has shut down due to lapsing of the ordinance under which it was set up.
Speaking to PTI, Union Environment Secretary R P Gupta said the since ordinance was not introduced in Parliament within six weeks of its convention, it has lapsed and consequently, the commission also stands shut. The ordinance never became an Act. Any ordinance has to be introduced within six weeks of convening of Parliament. It did not happen so the ordinance is lapsed, hence the commission is dissolved,” Gupta said.
