Delhi-NCR pollution to be discussed in Parliament Standing Committee meet today

The much-hyped debate on air pollution in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed empty seats and vacant galleries in the House.
To the surprise of many, half of the Delhi MPs, majority of Cabinet and state Ministers, and almost all prominent leaders from the Opposition benches skipped the important discussion, which was initiated by Congress MP Manish Tewari.
The only saving grace for the government was that Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Prakash Javedkar, reached the House much ahead of the commencement of the debate.
