Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said stubble burning in Punjab was the sole reason behind the rising pollution levels in the national Capital as he slammed the Centre for failing to provide straw management machinery to the farmers.

Justifying his claim by showing a satellite picture of stubble burning in Punjab as well as Haryana, Mr. Kejriwal rejected the claims that Delhi’s air quality had worsened due to its traffic or industries. “This is a satellite image... You can see the red spots which indicates stubble burning in several parts of Punjab including Bathinda and Amritsar,” Kejriwal said here.
