Addressing a press conference, Sood said that the government is committed towards tackling the problem of pollution through long-term administrative measures.
“We are not those who flaunt IIT degrees and do campaigns like Odd-Even or Gaadi On, Gaadi Off campaign. We are tackling the issue of pollution through long-term administrative measures,” he said, taking a dig at the previous Aam Aadmi Party government.
