The deteriorating air quality is not just an environmental issue but also impacts the health of citizens, Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan said Thursday, asserting that droughts and floods should be taken as a "forewarning of future".
Saying that the government's focus remains the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), he said all stakeholders in India have joined hands to combat climate change.
The minister said economy and ecology must go together for India's sustainable development.
Highlighting India's affirmative action in embracing a sustainable lifestyle by aligning "5Ps" - People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership, he said, "As a nation, we are progressing towards a sustainable India."
