Amid Delhi’s ongoing air quality crisis, New Delhi Municipal Committee (NDMC) Vice Chairman Satish Upadhyay alleged that the Delhi government is deeply involved in corruption and disinterested in carrying out any meaningful work.
“Delhi government is totally corrupt, and they are not interested in doing any work; they just talk and put blame on others,” Satish Upadhyay said. Continuing his attack, the NDMC Vice Chairman alleged that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal either attends the NDMC meeting or adjourns the meeting.
“Either he (Arvind Kejriwal) doesn’t attend the NDMC meeting or he adjourns the meeting and runs away. He never gives answers to questions. 500+ stubble burning cases have been reported from Punjab, where there is an AAP government, and 100+ cases from Haryana. When will the AAP government take action? After Delhi turns into a gas chamber, or when people fall sick?” he added.
Meanwhile, Kuljeet Singh Chahal, the General Secretary of the Delhi BJP, pointed out that around 561 cases of stubble burning have been reported in Punjab.
The overall air quality in the national capital on Wednesday morning was recorded in the’moderate’ category, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) at 190, as per SAFAR-India.
As stubble burning continues in parts of Punjab and Haryana, air quality in the national capital has worsened in the past few days. According to the data, over 2,500 cases of stubble burning have been reported this year so far. However, farm fire numbers are better than those of the previous two years.
