NCAP DMC

The Government of West Bengal has set up a three-tier committee to facilitate framing and implementation of the clean air plans:

Steering Committee for implementation of Committee, WB–led by Chief Secretary
Monitoring Committee for implementation of Committee, WB–led by Principal Secretary, Environment
Implementation Committee for NCAP in Durgapur–led by Commissioner, DMC

Multi-sector and integrated clean air action plans have been developed for each of the six non-attainment cities of West Bengal. For best results the plans have considered a larger region around the city to take into account the trans-boundary effect of pollution. This report is on Durgapur, one of the most industrialized towns in eastern India that represents special pollution challenges.
