PM2.5 levels increase in #Mumbai on 22/10/2023 compared to a day before with PM2.5 concentration recorded at 78 µg/m3 above the NAAQS and more than 5 times the #WHO daily guideline levels
- Mira-Bhayandar, #Jalgaon, #Ulhasnagar, #NaviMumbai and #Thane recorded higher PM2.5 levels than Mumbai while #Virar, #Nashik, #Bhiwandi, #Badlapur, Pimpri-Chinchwad, #Kolhapur, #Parbhani, #Solapur, #Sangli and #Akola followed Mumbai but recorded PM2.5 levels beyond #NAAQS by #CPCB.
- No city had PM2.5 levels below the WHO daily prescribed levels of 15 µg/m3
- #BMC has started taking some reactionary actions to reduce pollution levels, but the solution lies in emission load reduction at source rather than capturing or suppressing it through anti-#smog guns or smog towers after it has already being released in atmosphere.

In the #Bengal#Delta, every #pond, or pukur, has stories to tell — of waterbirds and #wetland plants, of family memory, colonialist history, and #climatechange. My piece on ponds, #partition, and placemaking has been published in @PlacesJournal.

I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest.
No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest
Banks have introduced many new charges such as fee for depositing and withdrawing money from bank accounts. Through these charges, banks are recovering their losses from corporate loans, thus shifting the burden of corporate loot to common people of this country. #NoBankCharges
