A Delhi resident said that vehicular pollution needs to be controlled and the public should be aware to rely more on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Electric Vehicles (EV). He added that people have changed their timings of morning walk according to the levels of pollution. Government is taking suitable steps but public awareness is also vital.
