Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Friday issued directions for imposition of Rs 1 crore fine on North Delhi Municipal Corporation in Kirari village in northwest Delhi.
He said regular incidents of large-scale garbage burning had been brought to his notice.
"Delhi's air quality has been worsening gradually, but the agencies are still not taking it seriously. Environmental norms are being flouted brazenly. Garbage burning is rampant," Rai said.
