Centre vs State In Credit War For Delhi's Air Quality; Farm Fires On Rise | Read
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday listed several measures taken by the centre to combat air pollution in Delhi, claiming that pollution in the national capital will be less this year, compared to previous years. The minister's statement comes as the Delhi government put out advertisements taking credit for improving the city's air quality. "The Centre is fighting the problem of pollution, which is our only concern. We believe that people will not get confused by the claims of others who want to take credit," Mr Javadekar said, adding that that pollution in the national capital fell by 18 per cent in 2018, compared to 2016.
