Improve forecast period to a week: Pollution board to MeT

Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) has urged the India Meteorological Department to give out at least a week's forecast for weather, adding that current two-day alert is not enough to prepare for pollution spikes. "There is an immediate need for better, long-term pollution forecasts. Give us a chance to be prepared and take action," EPCA told MeT officials.
