Union Minister Bhupender Yadav chaired a meeting with Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and officials to review air pollution in the NCR. The group aims for a 15-20% improvement in air quality by the end of 2026 through sustained, long-term measures. Key outcomes include a new scientific study to identify pollution sources, enhanced traffic management at congestion hotspots, and stricter action against polluting vehicles. Officials noted that 2025 saw the best AQI levels since 2018, excluding the COVID-19 lockdown year.
