Strengthening the public transport system is the key to fighting air pollution in Delhi and surrounding areas, environmentalist Anil Prakash Joshi said.

"One of the key reasons for Delhi's poor air quality is vehicular pollution. The government needs to provide public transport for all. And not just public transport, but world-class public transport. See how things are happening in Beijing and how strong their public transport system is. This needs to be done immediately to fight air pollution," the Padma Bhushan awardee said.
