Poor Pollution Control Perils

People find it difficult to cope up with the rise in the cooking LPG prices. So there is no way how they are going to accept LPG as vehicular fuel, even if they afford to actually buy the car. So there is no surprise in the fact that expensive vehicular pollution control measures are a failure in West Bengal, which, in any case, is plagued by laxity and corruption. Given the really long single coalition rule in the state, where the opposition is a butt of ridicule, the State Government could certainly have gone in for stricter enforcement of the anti-pollution norms. But then again, laxity and corruption call the shots or otherwise in the state.
