No PUC, no fuel/50% WFH/Construction bans/Parking fees doubled.
Every winter, Delhi gets an action plan.
What’s actually new? The pollution isn’t. The announcements aren’t. But enforcement & all year round action to work on the sources of pollution will be the change maker!

RT @Warriormomsin: “Green” only in name. Ground report via @gargiiishukla @htTweets from Delhi’s firecracker markets confirms what mothers…

Over 32,000 Stilt+4 approvals in Gurugram over 7 years. But are we getting the basics of urban governance right?

Hon’ble @mlkhattar ji, CM @NayabSainiBJP ji, @TCP_HARYANA & @dtcphry: Before adding density to occupied neighbourhoods, please ensure infrastructure capacity keeps pace with population growth. Introduce cleaner construction techniques, strictly enforce construction-dust norms, and mandate effective demolition-dust containment, including compliance during traditional stone-cutting and other dust-generating activities. Stop illegal malba dumping and remove the mountains of construction debris choking Gurugram. Most importantly, improve ambient air quality in residential sectors and protect residents from the daily burden of dust and pollution.

We have already written to CAQM on these concerns. CAQM has, in turn, marked our letters to MCG and HSPCB.

Why demolish relatively recent homes and burden settled colonies when suitable new areas could be planned and developed with infrastructure in place upfront?

Plan S+4Flr in new sectors wherein activities can be planned without causing structural damages and dust and noise pollution in well settled neighbourhoods.

मकान बनाना रियल एस्टेट का काम है; शहर बसाना और उसे रहने लायक बनाए रखना सरकार की ज़िम्मेदारी है।

The irony died a million deaths! 🙈🙈

Messages on pollution, Ravan being set alight, fireworks lighting up the sky… and then GRAP-1 kicks in as Delhi’s air quality deteriorates.

Delhi’s AQI jumped from 179 on 20 October to 245 on 21 October…a sharp rise of 66 points in just one day!

And this is just the trailer!

Imagine what will happen when millions burst so-called “green crackers” this Diwali. “Green” does not mean pollution-free. Burning crackers still releases smoke and particulate pollution into an already polluted atmosphere!

If Delhi is restricting vehicles that don’t meet the prescribed emission norms from November to January in the interest of cleaner air, why not bring the same urgency and spirit of innovation to our celebrations?

Why not seriously explore firecracker-free festivities, spectacular laser and light shows, and cleaner alternatives to traditional effigy burning?

If people are being asked to change how they travel for clean air, surely we can rethink how we celebrate, too?

Clean air cannot be a selective priority. We cannot regulate emissions on our roads while treating seasonal bursts of pollution as inevitable.

At least try. Pilot it. Show us that celebrations can be spectacular without adding to the pollution crisis.

What’s stopping us? 🙈

Your Lordship, the effigy & crackers burn for minutes but the toxic air stays with our children for hours & days.
Is this really a festival of victory?

Gurugram has all the ingredients for a high-pollution mix and thus recipe we have perfected- repeating it day after day, year after year.

Dear @CAQM_Official @CPCB_OFFICIAL

Please let us know what should residents do to get the situation

📍Sector 23A dust-filled road along a 1 km stretch, from the traffic light to Shamshaan Road and Janam Divas Park Road.

We don’t doubt the capabilities of our authorities. But without adequate resources ; manpower, machinery and money…how will this ever get the attention and action it needs?

As doctors raise concerns about the health impacts of firecracker emissions, the question is simple. Can we call crackers “green” when they still pollute the air our children breathe? Follow the medical evidence, not the marketing.

Mothers and parents are invoking Article 21, reminding the judiciary that the right to life includes the right to breathe clean air. Hon’ble Courts, follow the science, not the “green” label.
Don’t paint pollution green!

[Warrior Moms @Warriormomsin]

Sold as “green,” tested as toxic. Who is checking, who is accountable? The right to celebrate cannot come at the cost of our children’s right to breathe:(

@BhavreenMK @uppcbofficial @CAQM_Official Twice or thrice every day for more than 2yrs in a row but NO team from @CAQM_Official or @uppcbofficial @UppcbN considered it worth looking into for finding a long term solution.

They have lost shame!

[People For Cattle In India (PFCI) @PFCII]

#Elephants & all other #Animals & #Birds are highly sensitive to sound. Imagine being surrounded by deafening firecrackers inside a temple & all other public places when you cannot escape the noise.

For elephants especially already enduring cruel captivity, chains, or physical discomfort, this can intensify fear and distress.

That’s precisely the reason why we should -

GURUGRAM: A PANORAMIC VIEW OF AN AIR POLLUTION CRISIS

Captured by a Sector 58 resident from her high-rise, this view reveals a city shrouded in grey haze. One urban waste fire sends thick smoke into the air, adding to the already pervasive haze of construction dust and road dust in this rapidly developing city.

This is a pollution hotspot where the need for effective enforcement cannot be overstated. After several years of reporting such fires, why does the problem persist? Why has this recurring source of pollution not been addressed once and for all?
