What's behind this
The parliamentary panel initially placed Delhi‑NCR air pollution on its meeting agenda and circulated the list to members on November 5, but a revised agenda released later omitted the issue, with the removal noted on November 17. Congress MP Ajay Maken objected, writing to committee chairperson Radha Mohan Das Agrawal to restore the hearing and warning of escalating public‑health risks. The omission comes as Delhi continues to grapple with toxic air, according to reports.
