While the air quality in Delhi has started deteriorating, experts have urged the Delhiites to use natural gas as kitchen fuel and de-promote the burning of bio-fuels and leaves. Delhi Medical Scientists have said “odd-even scheme” was not a “kneejerk” step to curb air pollution.
Delhiites help has been sought to keep the air clean. Despite being green rich, the city is bearing a tag of most polluted city in the world. If one considers the World Health Organisation (WHO) report, 1.4 million people die in India due to air pollution. “Main contributor to air pollution is the burning of bio fuels. Come 2030 and fuels we use today would have made air so toxic with pollutants that it would be close to impossible to live and move without oxygen kit as a permanent burden and part of lifestyle,” said doctor Vivek Nangia, Director, Fortis lung Centre, Fortis Hospital.
While screening a video “Time Bomb” made by Hawa Badlo with the support of GAIl , the young mind of Delhi tried to show the picture of Delhi when Oxygen Kit (O2) kit will become the part of lifestyle.
Doctors along with Nipun Arora, founder, Hawa Badlo said the video “Time Bomb” is alarming us how 2030 India will look if pollution is not stopped right away.
“Delhi needs to understand the consequences of using cars and usage of bio -fuels in making food. We are in trouble as pollution graphs touch the sky during winter and we have to take some precautionary steps to make our future generation safe,” said Indranil Das, spokesperson for Hawa Badlo.
