'So-called PM 3.0' needs to worry about PM2.5: Congress’ dig over Delhi air quality
Jairam Ramesh of Congress said the National Clean Air Programme focuses heavily on PM10, but it is the finer particulate matter PM2.5 that is the real killer as far as public health is concerned
Welcome to Delhi Confidential, your exclusive source for insider information on the political landscape of India's capital. Today, we bring you two intriguing stories that shed light on recent developments in Delhi and Bihar.
First, we learn that Congress Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Singh hosted a post-rally dinner for his party workers and leaders from Bihar. The event took place at Singh's luxurious bungalow in Delhi, following a rally at Ramlila Maidan on Sunday. Singh, a member of the Upper House from Bihar, went above and beyond to ensure the comfort of his supporters, arranging for a caterer to serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Several workers even spent the night at the MP's residence, heading back to Bihar on Monday.
Meanwhile, in the world of BJP literature, national secretary Swadesh Singh has penned a compelling book titled "The Statue of Unity, the World's Tallest Statue." This book serves as the "centrepiece" of an extraordinary narrative that spans Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's pivotal role in unifying India to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of transforming Kevadia into Ekta Nagar.
This ambitious project aims to create India's first tourism district, where tourism, infrastructure, employment, and ecological consciousness will coexist harmoniously. Swadesh Singh's work provides a fascinating insight into the BJP's ambitious plans for Kevadia and the broader vision for India's development.
