Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai calls meeting with all ministers on air pollution problem

IndiaTimes Thursday, 9 November 2023
Delhi Environment Minister, Gopal Rai, has called for a meeting with all ministers to discuss the ongoing air pollution crisis in the capital city. The air quality in Delhi is currently in the 'severe' category, with a slight improvement expected before Diwali. Surrounding areas such as Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, and Faridabad also reported very poor air quality. A change in wind direction is expected to reduce the impact of stubble burning, but slow wind speed may counteract this. Higher wind speeds are anticipated after November 11, which should help disperse pollutants.
