"Bhayankar Pollution": Nitin Gadkari Admits He's Reluctant To Visit Delhi

Nitin Gadkari suggested that the best way to reduce pollution is to bring down the consumption of fossil fuels.

Irked by increased pollution levels in Delhi, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who is an MP from Nagpur, on Tuesday said that he does not feel like visiting the national capital as he often catches infection here.

Addressing an event in Delhi, Mr Gadkari said the city of Delhi is such that "I do not like to live here. I get infection due to pollution here".

"Har baar Delhi me aata hua, aisa lagta hain ki (Delhi) jaana chahiye ki nahi. Itna bhayankar pollution hai (Every time, while coming to Delhi, I think whether I should go or not because pollution levels are so high," he said.
