Kejriwal also asked the public of Delhi to join him virtually for Diwali celebration.
Kejriwal said: “On 14 Nov, 7:49 pm onwards, all 2 crores Delhi citizens will perform Laxmi Puja together. I'll begin Puja which will be telecast live on TV.”
The Delhi CM further shared that the Delhi Government has come with a solution to the stubble burning problem, and that this year would be the last year that stubble burning contributed to Delhi Pollution.
