Summary:
- The article discusses the main contributors to Delhi's severe air pollution, which is often blamed on stubble burning by farmers in surrounding states. However, the article argues that the real culprit is vehicle emissions, particularly from private cars.
- Data from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee shows that vehicle emissions account for around 40% of the city's air pollution, while stubble burning contributes only about 4-10% during the peak pollution season.
- The article suggests that addressing the issue of vehicle emissions, through measures like promoting public transportation, electric vehicles, and strict enforcement of pollution control norms, could be more effective in tackling Delhi's air pollution crisis than the focus on stubble burning.
