TDP Parliamentary Leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu Demands 'Hard Steps' Like China To Curb Delhi Pollution

In a significant intervention during the Parliament's Winter Session, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Parliamentary Party Leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu has called for stringent measures to tackle India's pollution crisis. Speaking on the issue, the Narasaraopet MP cited international examples, stating, 'If it's compared with cities like Shanghai, Beijing, or even Mexico City... they made a lot of changes... very hard changes.' He emphasised that 'no half-hearted smog fight' would suffice for New Delhi. The comments from the BJP ally come a day after another TDP MP, Appalanaidu Kallisetti, cycled to Parliament wearing a mask to highlight the hazardous air quality. The report notes the growing discomfort among MPs across party lines regarding the severe pollution levels in the national capital.
