Arvind Kejriwal blames Centre, Haryana and Punjab government for Delhi's pollution

New Delhi, Oct 29 Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faulted the Centre, and the administrations of Haryana and Punjab on Monday for the extreme air pollution in Delhi, claiming that they were not prepared to do anything regardless of the hard and fast efforts by the Aam Aadmi Party government.

"The contamination was in charge in Delhi consistently, however this time (winters) each year, Delhi needs to confront serious contamination condition due to the Centre, BJP-led Haryana and Congress-led Punjab governments.

"Despite our all-out efforts, they are not ready to do anything. Farmers of these two states are also fed up with their governments," Kejriwal tweeted.

Delhi's air quality kept on staying in the very-poor class with an overall air quality index of 348 on Monday. Stubble-burning is the major reason behind the expansion in the pollution level in the National Capital Region in winters.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed farmers from Punjab, who don't burn stubble in fields.
