Delhi Air Pollution: Amid worsened air quality in Delhi, retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi has urged the government to fix the accountability by releasing a comprehensive white paper. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bedi urged the government to fix the accountability across the departments and prepare a plan to improve the air quality of the national capital. Bedi's proposal came a day after she requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold virtual meetings with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and the senior officials to take stock of the progress in tackling pollution. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that the air quality is not likely to improve in the upcoming few days.

Bedi, in the first part of her suggestion, urged the government to address the key reasons and set the accountability. She further stated that once the situation is fully understood, the government should propose the short- and long-term solutions to improve the solution. Bedi also stated that the role of every department must be defined to track the growth, adding that everyone must contribute to improve the air quality.

"A suggestion— Part One. Can a White Paper be prepared of the current challenge of Air Pollution? Fix past accountability. What is the current crisis due to? Who and what failed us. The inheritance?" Bedi stated in her post.

"Part Two. And where do we go from here to halt the decline? And reverse the crisis. What are the immediate, short term, and long term measures and by whom? And How? With proposed time lines. By respective depts and the people at large too. All organised sections? As everyone is a contributor and also a solution. Alongside a mass dissemination of education and media awareness drives alongside relentless enforcement," she added.
