As Delhi바카라 웹사이트battles바카라 웹사이트dense smog바카라 웹사이트and pollution aggravated by stubble-burning in neighbouring agrarian states, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has been fixing up meetings with his Haryana바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트Punjab counterparts on바카라 웹사이트Twitter.

After scheduling a바카라 웹사이트Wednesday바카라 웹사이트meeting with Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar in Chandigarh,바카라 웹사이트on Tuesday바카라 웹사이트morning Kejriwal tweet-invited Punjab바카라 웹사이트chief minister바카라 웹사이트Capt Amrinder Singh to consider his request in "collective interest". "Sir, I am coming to Chandigarh바카라 웹사이트on Wed바카라 웹사이트to meet Haryana CM. Would be grateful if u cud spare sometime to meet me. It is in collective interest (sic)," tweeted Kejriwal.

On Monday, a very crucial meeting between Kejriwal and Khattar remained in limbo even after "I'm ready" response from both the parties.

"Khattar ji called. He is in Del till tomo. Says he is v busy n can't meet me in Del. He has asked me to come to Chandigarh on Wed. I look forward to meeting him in Chandigarh on Wed (sic)," Kejriwal had tweeted on Monday night.

Kejriwal last week had sought a meeting with counterparts from Haryana and Punjab to discuss ways to manage the worsening air pollution in Delhi and the neighbouring states.

The practice of burning of crop residue by farmers of the two states have been blamed for the toxic smog enveloping the region during the winter season every year.
