In a "big relief" for Delhi residents, the PM10 and PM2.5 levels have declined by an average of 45 per cent in the last 9 years, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said today.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with officials of the environment department, Mr Rai said that work on a 'winter action plan' to tackle any rise in air pollution levels has begun.
The levels of particulate matter (PM) 10 and 2.5 usually start increasing from the last week of October and attain a peak in November when temperature plummets, requiring measures to check the poor quality of air, he added.
