With an increased wind speed, the Delhi's air quality showed slight improvement Thursday and settled in the 'poor' category even as a task force recommended banning industrial and construction activities in major pollution "hotspots" if air quality turns severe.
The task force also recommended stricter implementation of actions already in force by public agencies, municipal bodies, Delhi Pollution Control Committee, traffic police and other agencies responsible under the Graded Response Action Plan.
Meanwhile, Congress led by its city president Ajay Maken took out a protest march at Rajiv Chowk against the "inaction" by the Aam Aadmi Party, BJP-ruled central government and the municipal bodies in containing pollution in Delhi and "to awaken them from their deep slumber."
