`Auto fuel policy an eyewash'

Our Bureau

New Delhi , Oct. 6

THE Centre for Science and Environment has rejected the national auto fuel policy announced earlier today saying that it is "nothing better than an eyewash".

"The policy is so weak and uncaring about public health objectives that it virtually denies millions of urban Indians the right to clean air", a press release said.

According to CSE, while a majority of Indian cities are choking on very high levels of particulate pollution, the policy stipulates that `clean' fuel currently available in Delhi will be available to the rest of the country only by 2005.
