"Pollution is increasing all around Delhi and surrounding areas, so I request that the Union Environment Minister should be active," Delhi Minister Gopal Rai said.
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai called upon Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav to be "active" in addressing the deteriorating air quality in the national capital region, emphasising that entire North India is battling air pollution.
The Delhi Environment Minister said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is blaming Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for the air pollution problem in Delhi, but he is not responsible for the poor air quality in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
"Pollution is increasing all around Delhi and surrounding areas, so I request that the Union Environment Minister should be active. BJP has government in UP and Haryana, they should be active," Mr Rai said at a press conference.
