Pollution control, including air pollution through vehicular emission, has been a government priority at the policy level since 1992. Government strategies and action programs in subsequent plans and policy documents, however, have been very broad and limited mostly to formulation and implementation of vehicular emission standards particularly in the Kathmandu valley. Despite frequent attempts at framing environmental policies, strategies, and action programs, Nepal is yet to come up with a long-term national policy related to the control of vehicular air pollution. The regrettable situation today is that accumulated efforts over the years in this sector has only resulted in a build up of paper work with hardly any of the policy strategies, action plans and programs designed so far actually being translated into action. |
