The Delhi government has sought a total ban on the burning of firecrackers and the movement of diesel buses throughout the National Capital Region (NCR). The proposal was brought up during a joint meeting of states with Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav. This comes after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government introduced a 15-point action plan to mitigate air pollution during the winter.
