The AAP, on Thursday, held protests against the remark of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Dr. B R Ambedkar across 70 assembly segments of the national capital.
Following the release of their second list of 20 candidates for the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state convenor Gopal Rai said that volunteers and ground level workers have been given priority by the party for selection of candidates.
Recognising their invaluable efforts to keep the city clean, Rai said they have made a significant contribution to keeping Delhi clean and beautiful.
Amid Delhi's air pollution situation, Environment Minister Gopal Rai wrote to the Chief Secretary on Friday, urging personal oversight regarding the enforcement of the anti-pollution Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
In a review meeting over pollution held here, Rai informed that it has been decided to implement 50 per cent work from home rule across the state government departments, except those that fall under the 18 essential services category.
Taking a jibe at Rai, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that if the Delhi minister had timely written enough letters to AAP's Punjab government to stop stubble burning, or to the national capital's PWD to repair broken roads, the outcomes could have been better.
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has written to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav for the fourth time, requesting clearances and an emergency meeting with stakeholders and experts.
He emphasized the alarming rise in pollution levels, which have been exacerbated by stubble burning and other factors, with several areas recording very high AQI readings surpassing 400.
Sachdeva claimed it has been established beyond doubt that the two major causes of pollution in Delhi are toxic smoke from stubble burning in Punjab and the dust, debris from Delhi’s broken roads.
Rai further accused the BJP ruled states in the northern region for deliberately working to increase Delhi's pollution.
