Manjinder singh sirsa on delhi pollution: In the midst of improvement in air quality in Delhi, the dispute has increased over the incidents of fire in garbage piles. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa made serious allegations against the AAP-ruled Municipal Corporation (MCD) and said that this is a conspiracy to deliberately increase pollution.
“Pollution being deliberately increased in Delhi”
Minister Sirsa said, “For the last few days, Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) had improved, but now the garbage pile is being set on fire in many places. I am constantly getting information about such incidents.” He shared a video of last night’s incident and said that this negligence will not be tolerated under AAP-controlled MCD.
“This is a conspiracy, action on the mayor”
The Environment Minister said that the BJP government in Delhi is continuously working to reduce pollution. But now efforts are being made to spoil Delhi’s air by deliberately on fire. He called it MCD’s “well-planned trick of the AAP government” and said that immediate action should be taken on this anti-people behavior. Sirsa demanded the MCD’s mayor and the responsible officials to register a case. He said that those who play with public health and environment will not be spared.
Pollution crisis in Delhi
Delhi faces serious pollution crisis every year in winter. AQI reaches dangerous levels due to burning stubble, fire in garbage and smoke emanating from trains. However, AQI was seen in recent weeks. The government has taken several steps like smog towers, electric buses and strictness on construction. But now there is a danger of increasing pollution again due to incidents of garbage fire.
There have been allegations and counter-allegations between AAP and BJP about pollution. Last year too, the BJP accused the former AAP government of failing in pollution control. But now after this latest statement of Minister Sirsa, politics has become hot again on this issue.
