Kriti Sanon addresses air quality in Delhi
At a recent press conference for her film Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti Sanon said if adequate measures are not taken to combat pollution, it will reach a point “where we won`t be able to see each other standing next to us”.
“I don`t think saying anything will help. It (pollution) is getting worse and worse. I am from Delhi, and I know what it used to be earlier, and it is getting worse. Something needs to be done to stop it; otherwise, it will reach a point where we won`t be able to see each other standing next to us,” Kriti Sanon said in response to a query about the air quality in the city.
The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) has revised the GRAP schedule, making it more stringent to prevent further Deterioration of air quality in Delhi-NCR. GRAP is an emergency response mechanism for entire NCR, based on Average AQI levels and forecasts for meteorological and weather conditions in Delhi that brings together multiple stakeholders, implementing agencies and authorities in NCR to respond to situations of deteriorating air quality in the region. According to the Air Quality Early Warning System, despite a slight improvement in the AQI, Delhi`s air quality continues to remain in the `very poor` category, with an average AQI of 359 on Saturday morning.
