New Delhi, Nov 5 (IBNS): As severe pollution levels in the national capital hit normal life in Delhi, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has called a meeting on Monday to discuss the issue, media reports said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been invite in the meeting.

Kejriwal on Saturday said that the increased pollution level in Delhi has made outdoors in the national capital resemble as 'gas chamber'.

Speaking at a press conference, Kejriwal said: "Pollution level has increased so much in Delhi that it has now become a gas chamber outside."

He said the initial inquiry suggested that the reason behind pollution was crop burning in neighbouring states of Delhi.

He said closing down school for longer time in the national capital due to the pollution trouble was not a solution.

Kejriwal earlier met Union Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave to discuss the pollution issue.
