The second phase of the 'Red Light on Gaadi Off' campaign begins

 

The Delhi government has also started the second phase of the 'Red Light on Car Off' campaign from Friday. Environment Minister Gopal Rai reached ITO Chowk and gave flowers to a bike driver standing at the traffic signal and requested him to turn off the engine whenever he parked the vehicle at the red light.

 

Gopal Rai said that it has been found in the survey that only 30% of the air pollution in Delhi is from Delhi, while the remaining 70% of pollution comes from NCR and other states. He said that pollution from vehicles also plays a big role in this. This is the reason why we have extended this campaign for 15 days. Very good results are being seen from this.

 

'Stop arguing over stubble burning'

 

On Wednesday, the matter of pollution was heard in the Supreme Court, in which the court asked the central and Delhi governments to stop disputes over the burning of stubble by farmers. The next hearing in the matter will be on November 24. Chief Justice NV Ramana said that if the government wants to talk to the farmers about stubble burning, then, of course, it should, but we do not want to impose any fine on the farmers.

 

Ramana said, “It is very easy to comment on farmers sitting in 5-7 star hotels in Delhi, but no one wants to understand why farmers have to burn stubble. More pollution than any other source is on TV channels,” Ramana said. It spreads through debate. Everyone has an agenda there. We are trying to find a solution here."
