As Delhi has witnessed a thick layer of smog post-Diwali night, Environment Minister Gopal Rai has called for a pollution review meeting with the officers of the Environment Department at the Delhi Secretariat today (November 13).

This comes after the AQI at various places in Delhi-NVR was in severe or severe plus category for the past several days.

Moreover, the post-Diwali celebrations in the region have posed a matter of concern for the residents in the area and its adjoining places.

Speaking to ANI about the review meeting, Rai said, "The review meeting will include discussions on the overall air quality situation in Delhi-NCR. We will conduct discussions on the status of the different enforcement works that have been implemented to tackle the pollution."

"A meeting has been called at 12 pm today on Monday, wherein we will discuss all the situations related to the air quality and pollution," added the Environment Minister.
