When I became the MP, I had pledged that I’ll utilise my salary to carry out activities which could not be done through MP funds. Glad to inform that Jasola Crematorium is being renovated at a fast pace. Many other things are in the pipeline! pic.twitter.com/HMv85pNYGo

Gambhir on Delhi Pollution 

On October 30, Gautam Gambhir had credited the people of Delhi for lower pollution levels on Diwali. "It's been better in comparison to the last six years and probably this is the least level of pollution we have after Diwali. I think credit needs to go to the people of Delhi but still, a lot of efforts need to be made." Gambhir said. "Obviously the Delhi government is claiming that they have done a lot of work but ultimately its people of Delhi who had that awareness not to burn crackers but a lot of efforts have to be done rather than all this gimmick of advertisement and taking credit of what people of Delhi have done," he added.

Gambhir also added that the government should create awareness for curbing the high air pollution level. "I think we should still try and create as much awareness as we can and get the pollution levels down because it's still in a very poor category so I feel a lot of efforts need to be made," Gambhir said. He also said that for him, the most important steps to prevent pollution is working on the ground level.

"I feel the central government is very serious in getting the pollution level down plus stubble burning needs to be curbed as well. So, I think the central government is doing all the best what they can to curb down the pollution level but I think and feel Delhi government still needs to pull up their socks," he added.
