Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

ONE THING AT A TIME , PLEASE


One  Thing  At  a  Time ,  Please  !


That is what the Delhi High Court seems to be telling Delhi Government !

It is telling Delhi Government :

" Before extending the odd-even rule beyond 15th Jan , tell us how much did it improve the AQI level in Delhi during the past 10 days "

Poor Mr Gopal Rai !

Not being an expert on Air Pollution , he cannot say :

"  Your Honour !

   It would take many months of such experimentation to conclude how much AQI improves by removing 10 lakh vehicles from the roads

And it will take a few years to :

*  Build separate lanes for BRTS / Bicycles

*  Introduce 10,000 buses ( Public Transport )

*  Introduce many more Metro lines

*  Introduce FREE bicycles which can be picked up / used / left anywhere by public

*  Introduce CNG driven vehicles / CNG filling stations by hundreds

*  Introduce electric cars which re-charge from power generated by Solar (not fossil power )

*  Dismantle fossil fuel powered power plants ( contribution = 21 % )

*  Pave those unpaved roads ( contribution = 17.8 % )

*  Sprinkle water on already paved roads ( contribution = 11.8 % )

*  Stop open burning of Landfills  ( contribution = 10.8 % )

*  Stop Construction caused dust  ( contribution = 8.54 % )

*  Stop smoke from Bakery Chimneys ( contribution = 5.8 % )

*  Stop Stone Crusher dust ( contribution = 5.2 % )

*  Remove ALL vehicles from the roads ( contribution = 5.8 % )

*  Introduce staggered working hours in offices / factories

*  Cover entire Delhi city with 100 Mbps FREE Wi-Fi , so that working from homes become possible thru Skype / Face Time etc

*  Make all educational content available ( free ) over Google Loon / Amazon Drones , so that all schools and colleges can be shut down

*  Introduce online purchase of all goods / services so people do not need go shopping and
all deliveries are through drones
  
{ Although , Pollution Contribution % mentioned above , are for Mumbai , as estimated by CPCB / NEERI , and reported in Times of India / 08 Jan 2016 , situation is same in Delhi  }

Your Honour ,

Do you want us to take up only ONE remedial measure AT A TIME , to see how much contribution does it make towards improvement of AQI , while holding other factors " constant " , as at present  ?

How many DAYS will you allow us to isolate the improvement due to each factor  ?

Between two experiments, how many days shall we return to " Status Quo Ante " ?

We request Your Honour to make  Lt Governor of Delhi / National Green Tribunal / Environment Ministry / Transport Ministry etc , a party to this litigation and pass appropriate ORDERS in this matter ,which are binding on all ( and not merely " guiding " ) "
