Red Light On, Gaadi Off returns

URGES BJP NOT TO 'TAKE REVENGE ON DELHIITES'

- AIMAN FATIMA

NEW DELHI: In a decisive move to address the persistent air quality crisis in the national Capital, Delhi's Environment minister Gopal Rai inaugurated the "Red Light On, Gaadi Off" campaign on Monday at the ITO intersection. This initiative aims to raise awareness among drivers about the environmental impact of idling vehicles at traffic signals, urging them to turn off their engines while waiting at red lights.

During the launch, minister Rai emphasised the significance of individual actions in the collective fight against pollution. He stated, "In the last few years, due to the hard work of Delhiites and the concerned departments, pollution levels have decreased by about 34.6 per cent. Delhi is once again ready in this fight against pollution." The campaign is designed to build on these past efforts, seeking further reductions in vehicular emissions, one of the key contributors to the city's air pollution.
