Government says misinformation being spread on Aravalli, Delhi CM chairs meet on pollution

This edition of 5 Live focusses on Aravalli row and Delhi's worsening air pollution crisis. Union Environment Minister Bhupinder Yadav said misinformation was being spread about the Supreme Court's decision on the Aravalli range and asserted that the government has consistently promoted the protection of the country's oldest mountain range.

The show also highlights a Stanford University study projecting it could take India 200 years to achieve clean air at the current pace. Meanwhile, Delhi's administration held meetings to tackle traffic and pollution hotspots, as experts like Mohammad Rafiuddin of CEEW argue current vehicle pollution controls are insufficient to manage the ongoing crisis.
