That time of the year! Delhi's pollution is a significant issue, particularly in the winter months when air quality often deteriorates. Addressing crop burning is a multifaceted challenge that requires cooperation between farmers, governments, and organizations. NULLTOX aims at tackling this problem for improving air quality in Delhi and surrounding areas.
Delhi is once again engulfed in a triple environmental crisis, as the national capital grapples with rising stubble burning in neighbouring Punjab and Haryana, hazardous air pollution levels, and a toxic Yamuna River. With air quality deteriorating into 'poor' and 'very poor' categories, residents are struggling to breathe, and the smog tower in Connaught Place remains inactive. Efforts to combat pollution include deploying water sprinklers across the city, but the situation remains dire as the Yamuna is now coated with dangerous froth, posing serious health risks ahead of the Chhath Puja festival. Amid this environmental chaos, political parties are engaged in a blame game, with the BJP accusing AAP of failing to address pollution over the past decade, while AAP retaliates, claiming the BJP is undermining them before the upcoming elections. As citizens suffer, the urgency for effective solutions has never been more critical.
