Pollution rises in Delhi-NCR; Minister Sirsa states, “No significant improvement despite restrictions,” while AAP targets the government.

Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR are on the rise. Delhi’s Environment Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has remarked that the situation is concerning; the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi currently stands at approximately 250, even with GRAP-I restrictions in place. According to Minister Sirsa, there has been no notable improvement despite these measures. A major challenge is the deteriorating weather. The Delhi government has urged the public to keep polluting vehicles off the roads. Meanwhile, the rising pollution has fueled political tensions, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) holding the government responsible. The pressing question remains: when will the capital get clean air?
