Over the last week, the Delhi NCR has been engulfed with air pollution. While the Delhi government brought in measures such as crackerless Diwali, Odd-even scheme to decrease pollution levels, it maintained that the major reason for the dipping air quality is stubble burning in neighbouring states.
On Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that it is “technologically and commercially possible to convert stubble into CNG”.
I had several meetings today wid experts. It is technologically and commercially possible to convert stubble into CNG. This will provide jobs, additional income to farmers and solve our annual problem of pollution. However, it requires all govts to come together n work on this
