Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday reviewed the corona situation with the Chief Health Secretary, health officials and all the district magistrates. The Delhi government has announced a complete ban on bursting of any type of firecrackers in the capital in view of rising corona cases and rising pollution levels during the festival season. This ban will remain in force from 7 to 30 November. Kejriwal said that the medical infrastructure in Delhi will be improved. Oxygen and ICU beds will be increased in government hospitals in Delhi. He further said that the Delhi High Court had stayed our demand to increase ICU beds in private hospitals. After which we have filed an appeal in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. We hope that the Supreme Court will remove the ban, given the situation. The Chief Minister said that we will emphasize maximum testing for prevention of corona. With this, we will take every necessary step to reduce the death rate.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today called on Delhiites to fight pollution and war against Corona. He asked the Delhiites not to burn firecrackers in Diwali and worship Goddess Lakshmi. Kejriwal said that all people should worship Goddess Lakshmi together at 7.39 pm on Diwali and take a pledge to drive away the corona and pollution. Kejriwal said these things during a digital press conference. He said that Delhi is currently fighting a war against corona and pollution. We all have our best efforts to win these two. The corona situation is getting worse due to pollution. Kejriwal said that every year in this month the pollution of Delhi increases because the smoke of crop waste burning from the neighboring states reaches here. This has been happening for many years but the state governments do not pay attention to it. These governments did not take any concrete steps for the farmers.
