New Delhi. The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) has released a report on the increasing pollution in Delhi. According to this report, only 30 percent of the funds allocated by the Central Government to the Arvind Kejriwal government to reduce pollution in Delhi were used, 70 percent of the funds were not used. This is the reason why pollution in Delhi is not reducing. Now after this report of CSE, the Aam Aadmi Party government, which is already facing many problems, is once again surrounded. At the same time, BJP has also targeted the Delhi government citing this report.

BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said that Delhi minister Atishi always falsely accuses the central government of not releasing funds, but the report has revealed that according to the National Clean Air Program, the central government gave Rs 742.69 crore to the Kejriwal government to tackle pollution. 70 percent of this money has not been used. Due to the negligence and inaction of the Kejriwal government, Delhi has become the most polluted capital in the world. It is surprising that even today the PM level in the air is 10, which is three times more than the prescribed limit. Despite the funds, the AAP government is not working. If a master plan is not made, Delhi will again suffocate like a gas chamber in winters.
#WATCH BJP leader Arvinder Singh Lovely said, “…I want to say that if this is the condition of AQI in July, then what will happen in December… On one hand they (AAP) ask for money from the Centre but they did not spend 70% of the budget received for environment… Delhi is lagging behind in spending on environment… pic.twitter.com/FLTkUmPVNS

At the same time, BJP leader Arvinder Singh Lovely said, if this is the condition of AQI in July, then what will happen in December? On one hand, the Aam Aadmi government asks for money from the center, but they did not spend 70 percent of the budget received for the environment. Delhi and Punjab are at the bottom in spending on the environment, both places have the Aam Aadmi Party government, if this government is not serious on an issue like environment, then the condition can be guessed. Let us tell you that the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) is a leading non-profit policy research organization that focuses on air pollution control, natural resource management, climate change, etc.
