Delhi Pollution: Govt Focusing On 13 Hotspots As AQI Goes Down To 'Poor' Category Ahead Of Winter

Ahead of winter, the Delhi government announced its action plan wherein CM Kejriwal listed out some measures to check air pollution in the national capital.

New Delhi: Delhi government is working as per the winter action plan announced by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal last month amid concerns over the rising pollution in the national capital, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said. Speaking to new agency ANI, the minister said, “CM Arvind Kejriwal announced his 15-point winter action plan on seeing the report of rising pollution every winter. Delhi government is working based on that plan. For the hot spots, 13 special teams have been formed. These teams are focusing on the action plan made for the hot spots. As far as stubble burning is concerned, bio decomposers are being used to decompose the stubble.”

Ahead of winter, the government announced its action plan wherein CM Kejriwal listed out some measures to check air pollution in the national capital. The government identified 13 hot spots where pollution is high and formed special teams for each of these hot spots.

“There were two thermal power plants in Delhi, both of them have been shut now. Heavy fines are being imposed over those responsible for dust pollution. Industrial units in Delhi earlier used polluting fuel but now they have been shifted to piped natural gas,” CM Kejriwal said, as quoted by PTI.

Meanwhile, Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 21.6 degrees Celsius on Sunday, two notches above the season's average. The air quality index (AQI) was in the poor category. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the relative humidity on Sunday was 75 per cent.

The weather office has forecast partly cloudy sky with the possibility of very light rain or drizzle on Sunday. The maximum temperature is expected to settle around 35 degrees Celsius.
