New Delhi, Nov 19 (PTI) The AAP on Thursday claimed that the air quality panel set up by the Centre to monitor Delhi's pollution situation neither has an office space for the chairperson nor the staff and it shows the government's reluctance towards the issue.

Aam Aadmi Party leader and spokesperson Atishi said the party demands that the central government should immediately provide office space to the panel chairperson and office staff for smooth action.
