"If it is so, there is an urgent need to set these standards because otherwise you keep frightening your people," he said.The environment minister said the initiation for standardising equipment, data and other parameters to judge air quality was a "very important thing" for him. "I think for that to be done, I do not need any instructions from anyone. Our prime minister will also be happy if I start the process for standardisation of equipment related to environmental issues. "This process will be initiated at the earliest. We will have a meeting of experts from Science and Technology ministry, environment ministry and the Central Pollution Control Board ," the minister added.
