Kejriwal also appealed to people to stay indoors and if possible work from home considering the situation. We will make an assessment in the next few days and implement it, if need be,” he told reporters at his residence. On Saturday, Kejriwal had met Union Environment Minister Anil Dave and discussed series of measures to deal with the alarming air pollution. The Badarpur Thermal Power Plant (coal-based), one of the major sources of pollution in the city as identified by an IIT Kanpur study, will be shut for the next ten days, Kejriwal said. The Municipal Corporations of Delhi have been informed to take measures to douse fires in the landfill sites, he said.
