While addressing media persons in his office, pointing at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Haryana Health & Home Minister Anil Vij said that crop remains hold only 4% share in spreading pollution at Delhi and Kejriwal should tell who is responsible for remaining 96% pollution at Delhi turned as a gas chamber and what steps his government is taking to control increasing pollution. Vij said, Kejriwal and his team is in the habit of blaming others to hide their own lapses. He said, in case of Yamuna canal water flowing inside Delhi observed highly polluted during present ‘Chhat Puja’ festival Kejriwal should clarify if Haryana government has supplied polluted water to Delhi, if so Kejriwal should get checked purity of water in canal at Sonepat as well as at Okhla in Delhi and at Faridabad rather blaming Haryana.
Information reveals, Yamuna canal water flowing in Delhi contains thick foam, poisonous chemicals, industrial wastes, sewerage water and garbage harmful for the health of Delhi residents. Former Irrigation Minister Om Parkash Dhankhad said, Delhi government is responsible for polluting Yamuna canal water due to own negligence when flowing inside Delhi. He accused Kejriwal government neglect to take action against those throwing polluted water containing harmful particles, sewerage water and industrial wastes in it through large number of drains at places while canal water passing inside Delhi. While addressing Vij raised a question over Kejriwal government how many STP plants have been installed and working to reduce pollution in Yamuna canal water becomes unfit for use after leaving Delhi.
In reply to a media question, Vij strongly condemned Punjab government announced Rs two lakh award each to those agitators involved in riots at ‘Lalkila’ Delhi during January 26 this year which is a shameful act and insult to law and order in the country clearly indicating that agitators involved in such riots and attack on Delhi police were deployed by Punjab government and Congress. Vij said, protests by farmer groups including agitating rallies, ‘dharnas’, hunger strikes, incidents of destroying public properties, damaging public vehicles and frequent incidents of attack on political leaders, cases of murders, burning, rape and other criminal activities at the place of protest are unfortunate and those involved in such activities will have to face legal action against them.
On health point, Vij said only 28-30%people have get themselves vaccinated in Mewat area in order to save themselves from Corona virus and state government is trying its best to get them vaccinated and nearly 2025 health teams have been engaged by the government to knock at every door aiming to provide at least first vaccination dose to hundred percent residents in the state by December 31 this year. Vij said, additional beds have been installed in Dengue ward in every government hospital in the state providing free treatment to patients.
