Arvind Kejriwal wants to meet Haryana, Punjab CMs over pollution in Delhi

A Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said he wished to meet his Haryana and Punjab counterparts to find a solution to pollution in the National Capital Region. The wish came a day after Delhi witnessed its worst 'air quality' and 'smog situation' of the year. On Tuesday, a yellow blanket of smog took over the city sky, making the quality of air even worse than a day after Diwali. Kejriwal tweeted: "Am writing letters to CMs of Punjab (Amarinder Singh) and Haryana (Manohar Lal Khattar) requesting them for a meeting to find solutions to crop burning." Stubble burning contributes heavily to the smog situation in the region during this time every year. Primary schools in the city remain closed on Wednesday. The pollution level rose to dangerous levels on Tuesday, with 18 out of 21 active pollution monitoring stations recording 'severe' air quality. -PTC News
