Center Owned by The Shillong TimesWhy are we becoming ‘vishwaguru’ in air pollution: Kharge targets govt
What's behind this
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday criticised the BJP‑led Centre, questioning why Delhi is becoming a ‘vishwaguru’ in air pollution as the capital struggles for clean air. He raised the issue while a parliamentary panel skipped a scheduled hearing on the matter. In Tamil Nadu, officials reported a 4.5 % rise in air pollution and the shutdown of 467 factories, attributing the increase partly to the monsoon season and the return of vehicles after travel. Earlier, a parliamentary panel removed NCR air‑pollution from its agenda, prompting an objection from Cong leader Maken, while industry body FICCI warned that pollution costs billions annually.
