Meanwhile, Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Monday invited suggestions from the people on ways to tackle the rising air pollution. In his appeal on online platform ‘change.org’, he said pollution levels in Delhi have reached a point of being a public “health emergency”.

“I have seen multiple petitions and appeals on change.org to address Delhi’s pollution crisis. This problem needs collective action from various state governments, central government and you (people),” he said.
