Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on Tuesday that a decision on introducing work-from-home measures and the odd-even plan will be made shortly to address the city’s deteriorating air quality.
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai told PTI, “People, including children and senior citizens, are struggling to breathe, and we deeply regret this situation.” The national capital’s air quality has been in the “severe plus” category since Sunday, with AQI values continuously above 450.
On the possibility of implementing work-from-home measures, Mr Rai stated, “We will take a decision on this soon.” The minister added that the government has already imposed significant restrictions on vehicles under GRAP-IV. “We are analyzing the impact of these measures. If the analysis shows a positive outcome, we will take further decisions accordingly,” he said.
Calling the current situation a medical emergency, Rai emphasised the need for collective action. “This is a time of medical emergency, and we all need to work together to address the situation,” he said.
