Arvind Kejriwal On Delhi Pollution, Says Decision On Odd-Even By Tomorrow

As the air quality in Delhi goes from bad to worst, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday blamed stubble burning for smog in the national capital and said that a solution can be found if everyone comes together. "Until state governments don't find economically viable solutions to crop burning it will not stop. If everyone...central government, UP, Punjab and Haryana government come together and put aside politics a solution can be found," Kejriwal said.

Meanwhile Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia announced that the primary schools would be closed in the capital the next day in view of the deteriorating quality of air in the city. He also asserted that the state government was ready to take a slew of measures, including reintroduction of the odd-even scheme, to tackle the problem.
