“We implemented graded response action plan in Delhi. We've formed 75 teams under anti dust campaign to review situation&penalise those flouting guidelines. We are studying impact of Delhi's smog tower and if result is good, then more towers will be installed,” said Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. 

New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday (October 4, 2021) announced an action plan to tackle air pollution in the national capital. The ten-point “winter action plan” includes the formation of teams to check garbage burning, dust and vehicular emissions.

While addressing the press, Delhi CM claimed that the central government and neighbouring states did not do anything to check stubble burning by farmers which will lead to air pollution in the winter season.

Additionally, CM Kejriwal appealed to the Centre and neighbouring states to ensure free spraying of bio-decomposer for in-situ management of crop residue as his government was doing in Delhi.
