Environment Minister Dave told the reporters that there is an emergency like situation in Delhi and the situation in Delhi is very worst especially for the olders, children, patients, and women. We need to take immediate steps to deal with the situation.
CM Kejriwal appealed to the people of Delhi that use the private vehicle in limit and use the public transport.
Anil Dave said that the situation in the national capital is very bad and to tackle the situation we need to use short term measure. Dave said that I discussed with Kejriwal on the short term measure to tackle the situation.
Dave said that there are five reasons of air pollution in which woods, coal, petrol, diesel and agricultural waste are included. We must need to find out the solution for this type of situation. He added that we should bring the change in our daily life style.
