Delhi Air Crisis: BJP Blames AAP, Minister Announces WFH & PUC Mandate

  • BJP MP Yogendra Chandolia blamed the previous AAP government for Delhi's long-standing air pollution issues, stating 26 years of problems can't be solved quickly.
  • Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced a 50% work-from-home policy and urged citizens to obtain Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates.
  • Sirsa stated that fuel will not be provided without a PUC certificate and banned trucks carrying construction materials into Delhi.
  • Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda criticized the lack of parliamentary discussion on pollution and the Central Government's inaction.
  • Delhi's AQI slightly improved to 328 ('very poor') on Wednesday morning from 354 on Tuesday, but smog persists in many areas.

Why It Matters: Political blame game continues over Delhi's 'very poor' air quality amidst new government measures.
