Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday urged Delhiites to help bring down pollution in the city by giving up vehicle use once a week and turning off engines of vehicles at red lights. It is necessary that every individual takes responsibility and contributes to the three measures including the 'Red Light On Vehicle Off' campaign starting from October 18, to at least reduce pollution generated locally, he said.
