Air pollution has become a national catastrophe that demands a comprehensive and immediate national action plan.
This is not a political issue but a bipartisan responsibility, for which we are ready to work with the PM to combat it, solve it and protect the future of our people.
वायु प्रदूषण एक राष्ट्रीय आपदा बन चुका है, जिसके खिलाफ़ एक तत्काल, व्यापक और निर्णायक राष्ट्रीय योजना की ज़रूरत है।
यह राजनीतिक मुद्दा नहीं बल्कि हम सबकी ज़िम्मेदारी है जिसके नियंत्रण, समाधान और हमारे लोगों के भविष्य की रक्षा के लिए हम प्रधानमंत्री के साथ मिलकर काम करने को तैयार हैं।
The Commission for Air Quality Management (#CAQM) told the #SupremeCourt on Wednesday that vehicular pollution is the highest contributor to air pollution in #Delhi-NCR and recommended 15 long-term measures to improve the worsening Air Quality Index (#AQI).

आज भारत में हम Multi-modal connectivity और Green mobility पर बल दे रहे हैं।
Seamless transportation संभव हो सके... इसके लिए पोर्ट, नदी जलमार्ग, हाई-वे और एयरपोर्ट्स... इन सभी को आपस में कनेक्ट किया जा रहा है। इससे Logistics Cost और Transportation में लगने वाले समय में कमी भी आ रही है।

Delhi battles with persistent air pollution, and MPs get the luxury of keeping their families away. Why do common people bear the brunt of flawed policymaking? #AirPollution

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 is no longer a distant challenge, it is a reality shaping our environment, economies & communities today. 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 global temperatures, extreme weather events & environmental degradation highlight the urgent need for collective & 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
#WATCH | Delhi | Congress MP Deepender Hooda says, "Pollution has become deadly. It has become difficult to breathe without this mask. This is why we are wearing this. I have given a motion of suspension of business notice to have a discussion on this issue. The Prime Minister should take the lead and invite all Chief Ministers, and a blueprint should be laid out in front of the country to get rid of air pollution. Pollution has become deadly and people of Haryana and Delhi are struggling to breathe... Sonia Gandhi has written an article on this issue..."
"If you have money, please leave Delhi."
We’ve heard such advice from doctors in the past few weeks.
But this time, it came from a mother whose 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆, because of Delhi’s toxic air.
She shared in a social media post how severe air pollution in Delhi–NCR has damaged her child’s health 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆.
And sadly, this is not an isolated case.
Doctors across the city are repeatedly warning that children are bearing the heaviest cost of Delhi’s recurring pollution crisis.
Some doctors are advising families who can afford it to 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 during the peak pollution months.
But even if one leaves, what’s the guarantee that the place you go to will stay safe for long?
If the common man’s 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, won’t the same exploitation follow him wherever he goes?
Today it is Delhi.
Tomorrow it will be the city you escape to.
The same citizen who 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 in Delhi
will watch hills crumble in Himachal,
𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 in Uttarakhand,
and groundwater run dry in Punjab, all in silence.
And besides, who really has the luxury to leave?
Think of vegetable vendors, auto drivers, daily-wage workers, and lakhs of families living hand-to-mouth.
For them, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

This is why 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 keeps reminding us: “Unless the common man awakens, nothing will change.”
As long as the human being remains as he is, the pollution will also remain exactly as it is.
We refuse to own up to the fact that this crisis is man-made, born from our choices.
𝗔𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.
We keep consuming endlessly because we’ve been conditioned to believe that life is meant for material indulgence.
And until this conditioning is challenged and changed, we will continue paying the price of our own ignorance.
Every mother I meet tells me the same thing: her child is growing up breathing toxic air. They are exhausted, scared and angry.
Modi ji, India’s children are choking in front of us. How can you stay silent? Why does your government show no urgency, no plan, no accountability?
India needs an immediate, detailed Parliament debate on air pollution and a strict, enforceable action plan to tackle this health emergency.
Our children deserve clean air - not excuses and distractions.
India hits 50% non-fossil fuel power capacity; 5 years ahead of its 2030 Paris Agreement Target!

With this milestone, India now emerges as one of the few G20 nations on track to meet/exceed its climate commitments, reinforcing its green leadership under PM @narendramodi ‘s vision.
Heat is a silent killer. The hottest June on record in Western Europe caused 2,300 deaths across 12 cities, of which 1,500 were down to the climate crisis (see link in comment).
Subsidizing fossil fuels costs lives.

The ocean does more than meets the eye. It generates half of the world’s oxygen, drives 86% of Earth’s water cycle, and provides food for 3.3 billion people around the globe.
How does it show up in your day-to-day?
