Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday said the city is in the middle of an intensified battle against worsening air quality, urging residents to actively support government efforts to curb pollution.

Speaking to reporters, Sirsa stated that the government has mapped out dozens of new high-pollution zones that need immediate intervention. “Sixty-two hotspots have been identified that contribute to pollution caused by garbage and dust. All Delhi government ministers, under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta' instructions, are inspecting these hotspots,” he said. Sirsa added that the city’s deteriorating air quality is directly linked to unmanaged solid waste, dust from roads, ongoing construction activities and chronic traffic congestion.
