A few days of dry heat, and the particulate matter is back in the air. And what will the unelected, unaccountable custodians of our environment do? Fix the underlying problem? Control construction dust? Enforce pollution norms? Hold civic agencies accountable? Or will NGT, CPQM and other authorities once again reach for their favourite solution: punish ordinary citizens and now BAN five-year-old cars? It takes a special kind of incompetence to make the earning, salaried middle class pay for the failures of governance. Families that have worked hard, paid taxes, bought perfectly roadworthy vehicles and maintained them responsibly are expected to absorb another crushing financial burden because the authorities cannot deliver clean air. Destroying people’s property is not environmental policy. Forcing families to replace perfectly functional vehicles is not pollution control. And shifting the cost of administrative failure onto taxpayers is not governance. These are not toys. They represent years of savings, EMIs, financial planning and sacrifices. Yet the very people who comply with the law and fund the system are repeatedly treated as the easiest targets to regulate, penalise and impoverish. The atmosphere clears when the monsoons arrive. The dust returns when the rains stop. But somehow, the accountability of the agencies responsible for managing pollution never arrives. When governance fails, the citizen pays. When governance fails repeatedly, the citizen is told to buy a new car. India’s salaried middle class deserves clean air, competent administration and evidence-based policy—not financial punishment masquerading as environmental reform. @saket71 @NBDwrites @theskindoctor13 @ARanganathan72 @RajeshwariRW @talk2anuradha @ShivAroor @ShivrattanDhil1 @RShivshankar @roypranesh @ShivaniGupta_5 @palkisu @chitraSD @monikahalan @MediaHarshVT @RajatSharmaLive @KARAN_author @Republic_Bharat @PMOIndia This could be a great Journalistic Expose Anti Pollution Funds - where are may taxes going ?
