In light of the deteriorating air quality in the national capital, Kejriwal is expected to conduct a meeting at 12 pm on Monday to evaluate the situation. It will be held at the Delhi Secretariat and will be attended by Delhi’s Environment Minister, Gopal Rai, along with representatives from pertinent departments.

Meanwhile, Kejriwal skipped the summon issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED)

in the liquor scam case, which had been delivered on October 30 and required his presence on November 2. Notably, several AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, are currently incarcerated, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the party’s future.
