According to the Environment Minister, about 80 percent of petrol pumps have been installed gadgets and by March 31, 100 percent petrol pumps will be installed. The Delhi government will inform petrol pump owners through the Petroleum Ministry that they cannot give petrol or diesel to such vehicles. At the same time, a team is being formed to identify the 15 -year -old vehicles in Delhi. This team will also work to exclude such vehicles from Delhi. Apart from this, we will also add to the students of Delhi University with us in the plantation drive and for this they will be given any certificate or numbers which can be useful for them. Apart from this, big organizenses like airports, big hotels, big complexes are also going to be necessary in Delhi to take necessary steps to prevent pollution.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the biggest issue in Delhi is pollution, both wind and water are contaminated. Today, we held a marathon meeting for about three and a half hours to understand the causes of diseases and their solutions. The main conclusion was that the previous government did not take any step to reduce pollution in Delhi, whether it is air pollution or water pollution. The money allocated for this purpose has never been used by the AAP government and thousands of crores of rupees have not been spent.
