Question 1
Statement: Air pollution levels in the metropolitan city have reached hazardous levels, affecting public health.
Course of Action:
I. Odd-even vehicle rationing should be implemented immediately.
II. Industries should be mandated to install pollution control equipment.
III. Public transport should be made free to encourage reduced private vehicle usage.
IIII. Construction activities should be banned for the next six months.
Action I provides immediate relief by reducing vehicular emissions. Action II addresses industrial pollution (long-term solution). Action III incentivizes sustainable transport behavior. Action IV is too extreme and economically damaging - a complete ban is disproportionate; temporary restrictions would be more balanced. Impact Assessment: I (Immediate, moderate impact), II (Long-term, high impact), III (Short-term, moderate impact), IV (Impractical, high economic cost).
