Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi stated in a press release while Speaking about the pollution crisis, “We’re taking a number of steps like tree plantation drives and buying 3,000 buses, etc. We sanctioned one of largest metro phases yesterday. If the need arises, we’ll implement the odd-even scheme. Each individual has to play a role in reducing pollution”.
