“The biggest reason seems to be burning of stubble in agricultural fields in Haryana and Punjab,” the Delhi Chief Minister said. The Centre needs to intervene to mitigate the alarming levels of smog, which have virtually turned Delhi into a “gas chamber”, mainly due to farm fires in neighbouring Punjab and Haryana, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said. He said the Delhi government has very few methods at its disposal and the Centre needs to intervene. We are hiring an agency in a week or two to study the sources of pollution in Delhi afresh. The Centre needs to intervene,” he said.
