Home / India Tv News- Delhi air quality turns severe; Vijay Goel rides bicycle to Parliament

Delhi's air quality turned severe on Thursday due to calm winds and high humidity. The overall air quality index in the national capital was 356 at 9:30 am on Thursday. The AQI at Rohini (411), Anand Vihar (411) and Bawana (404) entered the severe zone in the morning. According to the India Meteorological Department, very low wind speed and high humidity due to shallow fog in the morning led to the accumulation of pollutants.

A senior IMD scientist said the air quality is expected to remain severe on Thursday and Friday.

Meanwhile, former Union Minister Vijay Goel arrived at the Parliament on a cycle on Thursday. Goel was clicked wearing an anti-pollution mask and a bottle filled with muddy water was placed at the front of his cycle.

The former Union Minister, in an attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, said only politics was played on pollution in the city.

"The chief minister of Delhi has only played politics over pollution in the national capital," Vijay Goel said.

According to the government's air quality monitoring and forecasting body, SAFAR, relief is expected only on Saturday with an increase in wind speed which will disperse pollutants faster.

It’s a shame that Delhi despite being the capital of India is not fully literate whereas a small state like Kerala has attained 100% literacy.

Wateris vital for the existence of life but we need to realize that like all the other resources it is not unlimited and, going by the experts’ opinion, the next war could be fought because of it.

Youth Development Youth is the backbone of our country’s progress and we all need to work towards their overall development. Apart from providing training & employment in traditional careers I have always encouraged active youth participation in politics.
