Annual outrage has failed to dent Delhi NCR's pollution challenge. If anything it has buried the problem, which is getting worse every year. EPISODE #204
A very articulated write up Anil, starting from the annual blame game routine, to the causes and suggested solutions. The reduction of pollution from large quantities of food being cooked in commercial establishments and provision of more cooking gas connections to the poorer sections of society would be big steps for the reduction of pollution. Further, the immediate imposition of fines, like in traffic rules violation, could be imposed on lighting bonfires. The opening of more CNG pump stations will definitely encourage more people to install CNG kits in their petrol vehicles. More trees and water sprinklers have to be planted/placed all over the city and crowded suburbs. Thank you Anil for an excellent article.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words of appreciation.
You are right. Fixing pollution is not rocket science. But our politicians need to figure that this is not about credit, but about human lives and well being--which is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, pollution is a silent killer.
Do watch out for the StratNews show tomorrow. I interviewed Prof Tripathi from IIT Kanpur. He had some some interesting insights to share.
