No reply from Centre to pollution letters twice: Delhi environment minister Gopal Rai

NEW DELHI: Slamming the Centre for being “unresponsive” to the issue of rising air pollution in Delhi, environment minister Gopal Rai on Saturday alleged that Union minister Bhupender Yadav was “not responding to his letters written twice” over the emergency situation of air pollution in the capital.
Rai said citizens should appeal to the environment ministry through social media to take necessary action on the emergency issue.
Speaking to ANI, Rai said, “I wrote a letter to Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav twice over the issue of stubble burning, but did not get any response yet. I don't know why the Centre is not responding as this is an emergency situation.”
“I think Delhiites should also appeal to the Union minister through social media to take necessary action over this emergency situation of air pollution in Delhi. The Centre should not run away from its responsibilities,” he said.
He further said that Delhi government is taking every possible step to control the air pollution like the Anti-dust campaign, Anti-open burning campaign and Red Light On, Gaadi Off campaign.
