In a dramatic speech on 3 December 2025, DMK MP P. Wilson described Delhi as a “gas chamber” and urged the central government to reconsider holding the winter session of Parliament of India in the national capital during peak pollution months.
Wilson argued that 2025 has seen no day in which air quality met safe limits for residents. He warned that continuing legislative business under such conditions amounts to ignoring a national-level public-health emergency. He also blamed perennial issues like vehicular emissions, over-centralisation, and concentration of administrative functions in Delhi, calling them key contributors to the smog crisis.
To address the problem, he suggested a systemic redistribution of governance regional benches of the Supreme Court of India in cities such as Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata, and relocation of ministries and statutory bodies outside Delhi — aiming to decongest the capital and reduce environmental stress.
Wilson’s plea highlights a growing demand among some lawmakers to factor environmental realities particularly air pollution into administrative planning and parliamentary schedules.
