New Delhi, Nov 10 — Amid growing public pressure to tackle hazardous air pollution levels in the capital, Delhi’s Environment Minister stated that the government is “working to mitigate the poison left behind by the previous AAP administration.” He claimed that longstanding lapses in pollution control, waste management, and environmental planning had worsened the city’s air quality crisis, and assured that corrective steps are now being prioritised.
The Minister outlined measures being taken, including stricter enforcement against industrial and vehicular emissions, expansion of green cover, and accelerating clean energy and public transport initiatives. He added that coordination with neighbouring states is being strengthened to curb stubble burning impacts. Residents have urged immediate and impactful action as air quality continues to remain in the ‘severe’ category across multiple zones in Delhi.
