Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai calls meeting with all Ministers on air pollution problem

The Hindu  

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has called a meeting with all Ministers to discuss the air pollution problem gripping the national capital for more than two weeks now. The air quality in Delhi was recorded in the 'severe' category on Thursday morning, with a marginal improvement expected just ahead of Diwali as meteorological conditions are likely to become slightly favourable. According to officials at the India Meteorological Department, a change in wind direction from northwest to southeast due to a fresh western disturbance affecting northwest India will help reduce the contribution of smoke from stubble burning, but slow wind speed will counteract this. However, once the western disturbance passes, the wind speed will increase from around 5-6 kmph, at present, to around 15 kmph on November 11, which will help disperse pollutants ahead of Diwali, the official said.
