Delhi CM Promotes Clean Fuel for Pollution Reduction
The Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, is working hard to make sure every home in Delhi has clean fuel like gas instead of firewood or coal.
This is because burning firewood and coal makes the air dirty and can make people sick.
The government is giving out gas connections to people who need them, especially under a scheme called Ujjwala.
This scheme has already helped more than 2.5 lakh families in Delhi have cleaner kitchens.
The government is also giving electric heaters to workers who might otherwise burn wood to stay warm.
They are also trying to convince people who iron clothes to use gas or electricity instead of coal.
All these steps are to make the air cleaner and healthier for everyone, especially during the winter when pollution is worse.
The CM also encourages everyone to vote in elections to help choose the right leaders and make the city better.
She believes that when people work together, they can bring positive change to the nation.
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta prioritizes providing clean fuel to every household to reduce pollution.
The Ujjwala Scheme has enabled over 2.5 lakh families in Delhi to access smoke-free kitchens.
The government is distributing electric heaters to prevent wood burning during winter.
Campaigns encourage ironing workers to shift from coal-based irons to gas- or electricity-powered equipment.
The air quality index (AQI) improved by 26 points, moving from 'very poor' to 'poor' category.
