The Indian government has taken several measures to address the health issues arising from air pollution in recent years. Some of these measures include:

• Implementation of the National Clean Air Programme
• Introduction of the Graded Response Action Plan
• Banning of the use of highly polluting fuels like pet coke and furnace oil
• Closing down of thermal power plants near densely populated areas
• Promotion of electric vehicles and use of clean energy sources
• Installation of air quality monitoring stations across the country
• Issuing health advisories and alerts to the public

As a result of these initiatives, there has been a reduction in the levels of air pollution in some cities in India. However, these efforts need to be sustained and strengthened to ensure a healthy environment for all.
