New Delhi: Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari said he does not feel like visiting Delhi due to severe air pollution here and often gives it a second thought before coming to the capital.
At an event on 'Energy Transition and Sustainable Road Transportation' Gadkari said: "This city is like that. If I come for two days I catch infection. Har baar Delhi me aata hua, aisa lagta hain ki jaana chahiye ki nahi. Itna bhayankar pollution
Gadkari said severe air pollution badly impacts lives of people in the capital. "Still there is not that much awareness among people," he said.
The minister said the best way to reduce pollution is to reduce the consumption of offossil fuels and the use of clean bio-CNG and other alternative fuels.
Besides raising concerns over air pollution Gadkari also referred to the four legacy municipal waste dump sites sarcastically terming them as "tourist spots".
The minister said he held a meeting with the Delhi municipal commissioner and other officials on Monday. The MCD has invited bids for segregation and processing of waste and keeping them at specific locations.
