Delhi has been clenched by the rising air pollution levels. It has already begun to grapple with worsening air conditions even before Diwali, which is at the end of the month. AQI of the national capital was recorded poor and very poor in the days after Dussehra. On 16 October, Anand Vihar, recorded 433 AQI, which falls under the “severe” category. Adding to this deteriorating condition, a toxic foam was seen floating on the Yamuna River in the Kalindi Kunj area on Friday.

With the national capital’s overall Air Quality Index falling to 293 marked under the ‘Poor’ category at 8 am, the BJP launched a blistering attack against the AAP led Delhi government and Arvind Kejriwal. They said that the AAP does not intend to reduce pollution and only plays blame game over the issue.

BJP Launches Attack Against AAP

“The AAP government in Delhi for the last 10 years does not have any intention to reduce the pollution… The pollution is getting harmful again. The river and the air are polluted. The people are facing difficulties. This is just the beginning… There are elections after 4-5 months, I request the people to give the BJP a chance to make Delhi, Delhi again… The AAP government wakes up when there is a problem. The problems of Delhi would be solved the day they start waking up before the problem arises,” said BJP MP Manoj Tiwari.
Speaking to ANI, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla said that the national capital has been becoming a poisonous gas chamber and AAP is responsible for it.

Poonawalla added, “Delhi is now fast becoming a poisonous gas chamber and AAP’s polluted politics of blame game is responsible. What happened to the Punjab Parali burning which Arvind Kejriwal said was the main cause of pollution in Delhi?… What happened to the bio decomposer? The stubble burning has started already. Arvind Kejriwal and his government banned the firecrackers. You took a move against Hindus for Diwali but what about these causes of pollution which are the main causes? There is no action against Punjab’s parali.”
Notably, AQI at Anand Vihar area of Delhi dropped to 339 at 8 am, which is categorised as ‘Very Poor’. AQI at India Gate and surrounding areas was recorded at 270 at 8 am, marked as ‘Poor’.
AQI at Dwarka, Sector-8 was recorded at 325 at 8 am putting the area under the ‘Very Poor’ category.
Vivek Vihar area has moved to the category Very Poor’ with AQI standing at 324 at 8 am.
