Air pollution is a major concern for foreigners considering establishing a permanent base in India, according to Hendrik Selle, head of the Department for Economic and Global Affairs at the German Embassy. He emphasized that air pollution affects not only people s health but also the economy. He emphasized the need for political action both nationally and internationally to reduce air pollution.
We’ve been celebrating pollution wali Diwali and facing its consequences for quite a while now. It’s become another new normal. India’s AQI, rather Delhi’s AQI is not just alarming for one generation but for the ones on their way. So will we only keep talking about it forever or will there ever be a better solution than almighty’s grace, the rain, for us?
Indian cities, including New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, have become among the world s top 10 most polluted cities, with smoke heavy in the air a day after firecrackers were let loose for Diwali. New Delhi had an air quality index (AQI) of 407, putting it in the "hazardous" category, according to Swiss group IQAir.
