Delhi pollution | Switch off engines at traffic signals, says Kejriwal

The Hindu  

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday appealed to motorists to switch off their engines at traffic signals as part of a government campaign to reduce local factors contributing to air pollution in the Capital. Mr. Kejriwal said the “Red light on, gaadi off” campaign could lead to significant reductions in pollution levels even if 10% of the total vehicular users of the city participated in the campaign. “There are 1 crore vehicles registered in Delhi; scientists have told me that even if 10 lakh vehicles switch their engines off at red light signals it can massively reduce both PM 10 and PM 2.5 levels per year,” he also said. Since each vehicle spends at least an estimated 15 to 20 minutes at traffic signals per day in the city, switching off the engine could lead to savings of around 200 ml of fuel per day amounting to a possible reduction of ₹7,000 on fuel expenses per year per vehicle.
