Delhi’s pollution is in serious condition. At the same time, Environment Minister Gopal Rai has made big allegations against BJP and the Central Government. Gopal Rai said that BJP’s environment minister is sleeping despite Delhi government’s repeated requests to call an emergency meeting regarding the serious pollution situation. He said that he once again requests the Union Environment Minister to call an emergency meeting on pollution and allow artificial rain. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should intervene, it is his moral responsibility to take action and the Center should take steps to control pollution.

Gopal Rai said that ‘GRAP’ should be implemented across North India, adding that the rules are being violated in BJP ruled states. He said that we are working continuously. We have banned BS-III petrol four-wheelers, BS-IV diesel vehicles. All trucks and diesel buses coming from outside have been banned. Schools have also been closed for classes 10th and 12th. Third, timings for offices have been staggered. As far as work from home is concerned, we are working on that also. A decision will be taken soon. We will also implement it.
The AAP leader said that we are working on everything that is in our hands and we will continue to do so. We are demanding an emergency meeting with the Union Environment Minister so that we can take all action on the ground. We are also discussing odd-even but now experts are saying that we have imposed so many restrictions, people are now wondering what its impact will be. He said that the entire North India is in the grip of medical emergency.

Rai said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government does not have the right to put the lives of the people of the country in danger in this way. Will have to work on this. Delhi government is doing whatever work it can at its level. He said that we have been working since September. The central government cannot remain silent like this. Artificial rain has now become an emergency need for Delhi.
