#Delhi: Air quality still ‘very poor’, parking rates could go up

Parking rates in Delhi might go up, with the Supreme Court-mandated Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) enforcing the action plan for ‘very poor’ air quality in Delhi. According to the Graded Action Plan for air pollution notified by the Union Environment Ministry last week, the use of diesel generator sets has to be stopped, parking fee has to be increased three-four times, bus and Metro frequency has to be increased, and open fires, even in restaurants, have to be stopped when air quality is "very poor".
