RTI checkmates AAP smog rhetoric: Why such hypocrisy in the fight against pollution?

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has been asking chief ministers of other states what they're doing to help the capital fight pollution.

But an RTI reply shows the Delhi government has spent just Rs 93 lakh of the Rs 787 crore environment cess it collected this year till September 30.

The environmental cess - or environment compensation charge - is collected by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation and remitted to the transport department. The fund can be used for environment preservation and strengthening of the public transport system.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has blamed the Centre for blocking projects.
