Congress MPs move Adjournment Motion notices in Lok Sabha, seek discussion on air pollution
Congress MPs on Thursday moved Adjournment Motion notices in the Lok Sabha to discuss the rising air pollution in Delhi-NCR and other parts of North India.
As the Winter Session of the Parliament enters its fourth day, Manickam Tagore, Manish Tewari and Vijayakumar alias Vijay Vasanth moved the notices to discuss the air quality in North India. The Congress leaders urged the Centre to declare pollution a national health emergency.
Mr. Tagore, in his notice to Lok Sabha Secretary General, said, “government remains paralysed, issuing advisories instead of action, committees instead of solutions, slogans instead of a coordinated national strategy. Even as evidence mounts that pollution increases the risk of cancers, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders and metabolic illnesses like diabetes, this Government refuses to declare pollution a national health priority.”
