Only to accuse Delhi CM is not solution: Mamata Banerjee on smog

Kolkata, Nov 10 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal should not only be blamed for the ongoing smog trouble in the national capital."Global warming is a problem. Delhi pollution a disaster. Instead of blaming each other, I suggest Centre sits with CMs of neighbouring states – Punjab, Haryana Delhi - to solve problem," Banerjee tweeted.

 

"Only to accuse Delhi CM is not solution. It's national problem & we need to find a solution," she said.

Owing to the severe air pollution in the national capital, the Union Health Ministry has issued a health advisory and has urged people to follow the same.
In the advisory, the ministry has recommended those with breathing difficulty to remain indoors.

Parents have been asked to keep children indoors as much as possible.
Delhiites have been advised to avoid morning walks or any other strenuous outdoor activity that increases breathing rate.

The advisory has suggested all to drink plenty of water and fluids; avoid smoking; minimize the use of deodorants and room sprays as much as possible; and  to avoid the areas with smoke or heavy dust.
For those with heart ailments and chronic respiratory disease or asthma, the ministry has recommended them to continue their medication as advised by physician.

"In case of any difficulty in breathing, increase in breathing rate, palpitations or severe bout of coughing and/or sneezing consult for medical assistance," the advisory stated.
