India TV News  

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has called a joint meeting of all departments concerned, including environment department, Delhi Pollution Control Committee, Delhi Development Authority, Public Works Department and municipal corporations, on Tuesday to discuss steps to curb air pollution in the national capital from local sources. He said that stubble burning is the main reason behind the increased air pollution in Delhi according to the scientists. According to the Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality forecast agency SAFAR, stubble burning accounted for 48 per cent of Delhi's PM2.5 pollution on Monday, the highest in three years. Delhi recorded severe air quality for three days on the trot till Sunday due to accumulation of emissions from fireworks on Diwali and stubble burning amid unfavourable meteorological conditions -- low temperature, wind speed and mixing height.
