Back in 2014, China was the in the top 3 most polluted country, but with hundreds of billions and political will, the PM2.5 level droped more than half across the country, while industrial output doubled and number of cars doubled in the past decade.

[muhammadyahyabinaslam]

United by pollution divided by borders 😂😂

[Nageshnammi-kvdj]

I never heard from any government/ politician about environmental protection.
I have been hearing about we are growing economy, growing economy ….

• India ranked 3rd worst polluted country.
• Ranks 120th Of 122 Countries in A Global Water Quality Index
• Ranks 93 out of 180 countries in corruption perceptions index 2023.
• ranked last at 180 cleanest countries in the world.

"We may boast of our developmental strides, but at what price? If our focus remains solely on economic advancement while disregarding environmental preservation and the alarming issues highlighted, what meaningful purpose does our progress serve?

[KijjiSale]

Wow 83/99 Indians should be proud at least they can finally lead in one field

[Jkl]

And India isn't even an industrialized country yet. I shudder to think what's ahead now that they are trying to build a few large factories.

[Kevin-fqzh]

south asia is always bottom of the pile in every metric except population size haha

[funwithgames]

This is how India 🇮🇳 will become "Vishwa Guru" according to Modi 😂😂

[Khalistan_Zindabaddd]

India's dream have finally come true to beat China --> 83 out of 99 cities 😂😂😂

[NikangVideos]

India has all kinds of pollution. India could be the No.1 in noise pollution too...

[manmohanr]

Not just air, the mindless honking on the streets makes it worse.

[diuleisin]

I like how you always bring China up in every topic to make youself feel better. But harsh reality is China's pollution condition is 10x better than India's

[BockarieKallon-yn]

Over population is the main effect of air pollution which makes the air intoxicating and unsafe to breathe

[uraa]

Ok got the reason why Australia had won highest number of cricket World Cups 🗿

[theawesomeman]

I feel bad for all those who have to live in those polluted cities

[Jkl]

I am waiting for Palki Sharma to put out a spin on the 83 Indian cities among the 99 most polluted. It's Gotta be... China, China, China or UK, UK, UK. China blew pollution across the Himalayan mountains to sabotage India. Lol 😂

[linkdiablo]

How can half a million population become number 1 ? What make that city so polluted ?

[NirajKumar-wbhg]

What can we expect from 8th world country which is 70 80 years far from china 😂

[JohnRodriguez-zuic]

Government has to take aggressive measures to eradicate this !! Only in election time all announcements will come but It wont reflect in their progress. Huge no of Waste management Startup’s to evolve in India like Australia

[dhassak]

Unless and until this government insist on cleanliness and infrastructure developments, India never ranks in any best country list, good country list, clean country list or beautiful country list. Indian government never bothered to clean rivers across the nation, rather watching it getting polluted. We don't have any strict laws to protect hygiene environment, Indian cine industry carry their cameras to Europe and America to shoot the film scenes or songs since all other countries looks beautiful except India, Indians fly abroad to lead a better life, since we don't have a infrastructure and hygiene like western counter parts. Do we really need 76 years to develop a nation and still we see garbage everywhere in India??? India has every natural beauty and people + government must preserve it with utmost discipline as we behave in other countries while we travel.
