On Monday, Gopal Rai, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi’s Minister, took charge of the Environment Ministry. In his address, he outlined the new government’s focus and priorities under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister, Atishi. He emphasized that one of the biggest challenges this winter would be controlling the rising pollution levels in the city 🌬️🌆.

Rai stated, “We are committed to completing all the pending projects initiated by the Arvind Kejriwal government, and we will launch new initiatives to build a cleaner, greener, and better Delhi. Our most pressing issue right now is controlling the increasing pollution during winters. The government will explore all options to tackle this problem.”

Winter Pollution: The Biggest Challenge Ahead 🏞️❄️

During his address, Gopal Rai mentioned that the government has already had a roundtable discussion with experts and officials to discuss solutions for managing winter pollution. “Most departments have provided their input on the Winter Action Plan. We will soon meet with the Chief Secretary of Delhi to finalize suggestions and recommendations,” he said.

 

Winter Action Plan to Roll Out on September 25 🗓️📑

“We are ready to implement the Winter Action Plan from September 25, ahead of the previously planned date of September 26,” announced Gopal Rai. He acknowledged that the rise in pollution during winter causes severe difficulties for the people of Delhi, which is why the plan includes work-from-home options for private companies and flexible office timings for commuters. These provisions will be rolled out soon to mitigate the impact on the daily lives of Delhi’s residents.

Atishi’s Leadership During Challenging Times 🌟👩‍⚖️

Gopal Rai also praised Atishi’s leadership as the Chief Minister of Delhi, despite challenging circumstances.

Referring to Kejriwal’s commitment to step aside until he proves his innocence in the public court, Rai added, “Everyone knows that Atishi took on the role of Chief Minister under extremely difficult circumstances.”
