Keeping with the practice over the past many years, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on September 29 announced a ‘Winter Action Plan’ on how the Delhi government plans to reduce air pollution during winter months.
Air pollution spikes in Delhi and other north Indian States during every winter mainly due to meteorological factors and pollution from stubble burning.
The Delhi Chief Minister said that the winter action plan will focus on 15 points, including controlling stubble burning, vehicular pollution, open burning, and dust pollution among others, to reduction air pollution in the national capital in winter months.
