Delhi's Pollution Battle: Saxena Targets Road Dust Solutions

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena highlighted road dust as the main air pollution source, urging local action instead of blame. He urged road repairs and greenery. The AAP countered, pointing to severe pollution in BJP-led Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Saxena noted municipal waste achievements while lamenting rising pollution issues.

In a recent address, Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena identified road dust as the primary source of air pollution in the capital. He emphasized the need for the Delhi government to address internal issues rather than shifting the blame elsewhere.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) responded, indicating the irony as BJP-governed Haryana and Uttar Pradesh showcase some of the worst air quality indices (AQI) in the country. They claimed Delhi is experiencing its cleanest air levels in a decade due to proactive government measures.

Saxena also noted his success in managing municipal waste and Yamuna pollution. He urged Delhi's leadership to focus on basic infrastructure improvements to combat the dust crisis and improve air quality comprehensively.
