Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has given out this information.
A high-level meeting was conducted to decide on the measures required in keeping Delhi’s air clean and breathable.
During the press briefing, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said, “As pollution level in Delhi is reducing leading to an improved Air Quality Index (AQI) similar to pre-Diwali days, the Delhi government has taken a slew of measures to maintain it.
