The Delhi government has signalled a decisive push against the city’s persistent pollution crisis, with Environment Minister Kapil Mishra announcing that the upcoming session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly will witness an extensive and focused debate on the issue. The government, he said, will place concrete and practical proposals before the House to ensure cleaner air and a healthier environment for the people of the capital.


Addressing the media, Mishra asserted that tackling pollution remains a top priority for the government. During the winter session, the Assembly will deliberate in detail on the key causes of pollution, shortcomings in previous policies, and a clear roadmap for future action.


The minister added that discussions would also encompass the CAG report, issues related to the so-called “Sheesh Mahal”, the functioning of the Delhi Jal Board, and other allied matters, with the aim of ensuring transparency and accountability in governance.


Making the government’s stance clear, Mishra said strict action would be taken against all factors contributing to pollution, and policy decisions would be guided solely by public interest. He urged the opposition to rise above political point-scoring and participate constructively in solution-oriented discussions.


“Making Delhi free from pollution is the government’s priority. The debate in the Assembly will lead to firm decisions and decisive steps towards a cleaner and safer capital,” Mishra said.
