Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday called an urgent meeting to discuss the issue of air pollution in the national capital. This comes minutes after the Supreme Court demanded an emergency plan on Delhi's alarming air quality from the Centre. The meeting will be attended by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Health Minister Satyendar Jain, Environment Minister Gopal Rai and Delhi Chief Secretary. The Supreme Court suggested the Central government impose a two-day lockdown in the city amid worsening air quality. Smoke from crop burning in the neighbouring areas has further worsened the air quality situation.
