Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said that despite the burning of stubble, the condition of air pollution in Delhi remains serious. The Union Minister requested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to take strict action on the complaints of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), many complaints such as biomass and garbage burning, garbage disposal, violation of construction waste rules, roads and dust, important factors of pollution. There was no action.

Javadekar said on Friday, the CPCB issued a notice to the Delhi government to take strict action on complaints of pollution-causing activities in Delhi-NCR. The state of air pollution in Delhi is very dangerous.

50 teams of CPCB are investigating every day in Delhi and NCR and giving their complaints. Some of these have been worked on, while some have not. By now the burning of starch has also stopped, so now the Delhi government and its agencies should take action.
