Delhi smog: Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh said he “did not have the same luxury of time” that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has. Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has refused to meet his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal over the issue of paddy stubble burning contributing to smog in Delhi, saying he “did not have the same luxury of time.” In a statement issued on Tuesday after a tweet by Kejriwal seeking a meeting with Amarinder, the Punjab CM said Kejriwal was trying to politicise a serious issue. “The problems faced by Delhi and Punjab on this count were completely divergent, with no meeting ground. Unlike Punjab, the Delhi problem was the result mainly of urban pollution caused by mismanaged transportation and unplanned industrial development,” the statement said.
