Delhi-NCR facing 70 less days of air pollution after 2016: Javadekar

Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Prakash Javadekar claimed that Delhi-NCR does not face pollution for nearly six months since 2016.

"In 2016, 250 days used to have bad air quality in Delhi-NCR area, today only 180 days are of bad air.
