New Delhi: It is that time of the year, and once again the national Capital Delhi has turned into a gas chamber.  The Aam Aadmi party government has now pulled up its sock and has begun taking action against the rising pollution level. The government has assigned the task of finding people who are contributing to rising pollution and doing an investigation; to a joint investigation team, comprising of 44 groups. As per the Delhi government, these groups have been ordered to do a strict probe against the offenders. Various committees like SDM, Sub Divisional magistrate, district officers, Delhi pollution control committee, and environmental officers belonging to central and state government are likely to be a part of the group. Also, diesel cars older than 10 years and petrol cars older than 15 years will also be confiscated, as per the Supreme Court orders.
