Delhi Faces Severe Pollution Crisis
Delhi is facing very bad air pollution, with levels reaching hazardous and severe categories.
The government has introduced strict rules to control pollution, like checking pollution certificates for vehicles and banning older, more polluting cars.
They are also taking action against factories that cause pollution and installing machines to clean the air.
However, there is a big argument between political parties.
The BJP and the Lieutenant Governor blame the AAP government for not doing enough to control pollution over the past 11 years.
The AAP, on the other hand, has been accused by the BJP of lying about pollution and health data.
The situation is serious, and everyone is trying to find ways to make the air cleaner and safer for people in Delhi.
Delhi's air quality reached hazardous levels, with AQI crossing 400 in many areas.
The government implemented strict anti-pollution measures, including a 'no PUC, no fuel' policy and banning older vehicles.
12 pollution testing centers were suspended for irregularities, and 411 closure notices were issued to industrial units.
Political blame game escalated, with the BJP and L-G accusing the AAP of inaction on pollution control.
The AAP was accused by the BJP of misrepresenting pollution and dengue data, leading to a heated political dispute.
