NEW DELHI: India\u2019s environment minister blamed the Delhi government and its neighbouring states for failing in their efforts to check air pollution which was six times above the recommended limit on Thursday, posing severe health risks.
\nThe minister, Harsh Vardhan, said in a statement that efforts by state governments, including Punjab and Haryana, to bring down incidents of widespread crop burning were \u201cfar from satisfactory\u201d.
\n\u201cIn Punjab only daily cases of stubble burning were still running into thousands,\u201d the minister said, adding the overall incidents of crop burning were down 30 percent from the previous year.
\nIndia has aimed to reduce stubble burning that is a major source of pollution during the winter months by 70 percent in its top two farm states this year, a top government official said last week, but experts questioned whether the target was credible.
\nThe minister also blamed the Delhi city government for falling short of meeting its targets to rein in pollution from construction activities, open dumping or the burning of waste, including industrial waste, traffic congestion and road dust.
\nDelhi was also headed for a \u201cdeadly cocktail\u201d of pollution in the coming weeks as a major Hindu festival of Diwali on Nov 7 – during which many fireworks are usually let off – would coincide with crop burning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
