Delhi again covered by smog; Kejriwal tries to find solution

As Delhi again was covered with smog the visibility dropped to 50 metres today morning.

This was the same case last year too after Diwali and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the national capital has turned into a "gas chamber".

"All of us together have to find a solution to this. Every year, during this time of the year, Delhi becomes a gas chamber," Kejriwal tweeted and said that he has requested education minister Manish Sisodia to consider closing schools for a few days.



Sharing a tweet of AAP minister for environment and forests Imran Hussain, Arvind Kejriwal today said that his government has written to adjoining states in August, "urging them to take steps to check crop burning".

The chief minister also reportedly sought time from Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan to discuss emergency measures to check pollution in Delhi but was told by the minister's office that he is not available and could meet Arvind Kejriwal only on the 9th of this month.
