In  the  overall  interest  of  the  nation  and  to  ensure  that  projects  are completed in time without cost overrun, lot of monitoring is done in Railways at various levels (field level, divisional level, zonal level and Board level) and regular meetings are held with the officials of State Government and concerned authorities to resolve the pending issues that are obstructing the progress of projects.

To ensure that projects are completed even before time, Railway has adopted  the  concept  of  incentives  to  the  contractor  in  the  form  of bonus  clause  in  contracts  which  will  further  enhance  the  pace  of execution of projects.

## ANSWER

- MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PG & PENSIONS AND IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH):
- (a) The Imager payload on-board ISRO's INSAT-3D & 3DR satellites is  used  to  monitor  Aerosol  Optical  Depth  (AOD),  which  is indicator of particles and smoke from biomass burning
- affecting visibility and increase of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration in the atmosphere. It is found that AOD, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations are higher over Indo-Gangetic Plain covering parts of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar during October and November. High concentration of these pollutants is seen originating  from  parts  of  Punjab  and  Haryana  during  stubble burning.
- (b) Climatological  study  of  satellite  based  fire  occurrences  and associated  pollutant  parameters  reveal  that  fire  occurrences increased  by  4%  over  Punjab  and  Haryana  region  during October- November between 2003 and 2017. The model based analysis suggests that there is a high probability of transportation  of  smoke  aerosols  from  Punjab  &  Haryana, towards down-wind regions of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
- (c) INSAT 3D & 3DR Imager based AOD, PM2.5 and PM10 spatial maps are made available on web portals viz. airquality.iirs.gov.in and  www.mosdac.gov.in along with other ancillary parameters for visualization. Using medium resolution Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite data, stubble burned area maps are generated at the end of  stubble  burning  activity  in Kharif season.
- (d) ISRO has been carrying out monitoring of stubble burning since 2015.  The  products  generated  are  comparable  to  the  NASA products.
