A country's priority is a reflection of it's own. People protest for religion not for a decent lifestyle. This is what you get

Five years ago, when I wasn't living in Delhi, I used to think this wasn't my problem. I believed it was a region-specific issue that didn't affect me. However, I haven't seen the sun for the past two weeks, and the air quality index (AQI) has exceeded 2000 in some parts of Delhi. I am feeling short of breath, my eyes are red, and I'm struggling to breathe. All of this has happened because we, including politicians and officials, thought this wasn't our problem.

[gokurockstar]

Leave Delhi if possible. Nobody will save you.

Improving Air quality is a long-term process, it took China 10 years to make it better. Good luck to India.

Congrats India. You'll forever be a young nation as many of you guys can't even live pass 40 years old :)

Even though you say it is a capital punishment, the severity of punishment is far greater on the poor than the rich and powerful. Rich can afford to install expensive air purifiers in every room in their house, own expensive BS 6 compliant cars and engage others go out to get the job done. The poor can hardly afford to even light their stove if they can't go out to work. Nature and the elements treat the rich and poor the same but the impact is vastly different.

The major problem of this hazardous condition is over population of India.

those aerial drone shots look like post-apoclyptic scene from some sci-fi movie...freakin' terrifying

In Kerala I could see mostly electric vehicles

We moved permanently to Australia. AQI is 30

Ask Modi to save New Delhi. He is now travelling all around ...

[patrumba]

Leaving Delhi was the best decision I took and I know not many have that privilege hope things get better for them

Poor farmers are bearing the brunt as the cause for all of Delhi's current air pollution troubles. Mind you our farmers had been following stubble burning as a sustainable and economic way of farm management for centuries. But Delhi's air pollution is a recent phenomenon. So who is the real culprit? It's the petrol and diesel guzzling cars and other transport vehicles on Delhi's roads that have exploded in numbers in recent years. The rich don't want to change their lifestyle but want the poor farmers to give up their traditional practice so that the rich can continue their wasteful lifestyles.

[mohanramachandran]

Currently Delhi has imposed a significant ban on the use of vehicles due to high air pollution. Isn't it very necessary for the Punjab government to create sufficient awareness among the rural farmers who are the cause of the problem?

While the lawyers in India keep suing random people for absolute nonsense, no one is suing no one for neglecting to protect people and endangering lives ?

[Donovan_Berserk]

bruh i wanna leave but where would i even go? everybody hates us

[Thereisnoplacelike]

The main source which is stubble burning has to be stopped, the government officials should understand the challenges that these farmers faces here and should help them find an alternative eco friendly way of doing it. May be some financial helps to implement such eco friendly alternative would also help.
The next is improving eco friendly public transport (which they will never do to help automotive manufacturers)
The main concern is why is government officials not working on this?

Modi: India is a superpower, "the largest democracy" and India is the future

[sergemerto]

Our country have such intellectual politicians that they will keep playing blame game on this problem. Just see. Manipur and this now. What is even the use of a government if it can't do the basic stuff for people
