Delhi Pollution Crisis: Minister Sirsa Blames Punjab, Defends Actions
Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has responded strongly to criticism over the city’s rising air pollution, pointing out that the problem is complex and cannot be solved overnight. In an exclusive interview with News18, he dismissed the idea that Delhi’s toxic Air Quality Index (AQI) can be fixed in a few months and placed part of the blame on farm fires in neighboring Punjab.
