#WATCH | Delhi: On the air pollution, Dr. GC Khilnani, Chairman of the PSRI Institute of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, says, "...I see two types of patients, the young people who do not have any illness or respiratory illness, asthma, or bronchitis. They are coming with a very troubling cough, sore throat, running nose... When I examine them, I don't find anything... A test called fractional exhaled nitric oxide is done, which actually indicates the level of inflammation in the airways, and that I am finding is very high... There is no benefit of taking antibiotics for pollution-related cough and breathlessness... Another type of patient is the one who has previous heart disease, lung disease... They come to the emergency room with increased requirements of nebulization, breathlessness, increased requirements of oxygen... Younger children and the elderly are the worst affected because of this pollution... It is very important for everybody to stay at home to the extent possible... A special advisory for people who have asthma or heart disease or who are elderly is that these people should not go for early morning walks when the smog is there... If they want to go for a walk, they should use an N95 or N99 mask... Everybody is using air purifiers... But there are some precautions to be taken, like the air purifier should be on all the time, the room should be closed, and the filter should be replaced repeatedly."

Open Petition before the Honble Chief Justice of India

Dec 3 petition

We the residents of the NCR with great respect for our @PMOIndia and with faith in his proven leadership urge the @PMOIndia office to bring in a group of Ministers with him to start addressing the doables and work in long term policies too. To do an online meet with five CMs and their respective CS as he used to do for CovId.
It was very effective.

Hi @ArvindKejriwal - if @CAQM_Official has lifted stage IV, is @Dir_Education revoking school closure order?
Or will schools remain closed while trucks & diesel cars return and comm’l activity resumes?
Ever thought about fixing sources of #AirPollution instead of only reacting?

A country that was a shining bright light on the world’s firmament for giving due process even to Pakistan’s Ajmal Kasab, one of 10 terrorists who waged war against our nation in Mumbai, is now boastfully running bulldozers over homes of our own citizens, if accused of violence.

Who’s collating similar data from govt & pvt offices? Shops, restaurants & other comm’l enterprises where adults work all day & kids often go? If not being collated, then why focus only on schools?

The only thing to say about ‘the hijab row’ is (to paraphrase the Constitution): if someone wants to wear one, what goes of your mum?

This is Anandibai Joshi. The first Indian woman to graduate with a medical degree from the US. Even in the cold Pennsylvania winters, she continued to wear a saree.
More importantly, she was allowed to!

[Tanya Aggarwal @tanya_aggarwal1]

Thank you 🙏
No u-turns pls. Look forward to 14 Feb for younger kids.
And sensible SOPs. Kids need a meaningful physical school experience after suffering for TWO years. That means normal hours, daily, with transport.

[Tanya Aggarwal @tanya_aggarwal1]

Why phased? When experts advise prioritise primary? Primary school students are at least risk for severe/fatal covid-19 yet stand to lose the most in terms of foundational skills, social play and nutrition.
What’s the logic @LtGovDelhi @ArvindKejriwal @msisodia ?

Open Delhi NCR schools for in-person classes for all grades 1-12 - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/jEyZS86Q8r via @ChangeOrg_India

[Tanya Aggarwal @tanya_aggarwal1]

Hi @LtGovDelhi. Pls spare 90 sec to watch this

Friendly reminder that u are presiding over one of the longest school closures in the world & at no point has @DDMA_Delhi given any credible reason (rather ANY reason) for keeping only schools closed but allowing everything to open

[Tanya Aggarwal @tanya_aggarwal1]

Digital digital digital

It’s been TWO YRS
Why does #India have one of the longest school closures in the world?
Even Uganda opened schools. China of course is way ahead
Why are only our kids falling behind? This is a race to the bottom
