“Even healthy people are feeling breathless” Ex-AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria warns Delhi’s toxic air can cause heart & lung disease. PM2.5 isn’t just in the air, it’s in our blood. Time to act is NOW! @gupta_rekha @JPNadda @CPCB_OFFICIAL https://t.co/qWf480msWy

The current Air Quality Index #AQI of #Noida is 413 which falls in the hazardous ☢️ category . Breathing the air in Noida is as harmful as smoking 8.3 cigarettes a day. #AirPollution @Warriormomsin @WMNoida @BhavreenMK

Everyone knows this, but as Yes Minister taught us, "something must be done, this is something; thus let's do it."

All 37 Delhi sewage treatment plants FAILED @CPCB_OFFICIAL’s quality test yet PASSED @DPCC_Pollution’s check the same month. Two watchdogs, one city, zero accountability. Wats happening? @gupta_rekha @mssirsa @LtGovDelhi https://t.co/8SsFOUTCaQ @SophiyaMathew1 @IndianExpress

All of Delhi's 37 STPs failed to meet required parameters after an inspection this year. The fecal coliform levels after treatment were over 300 times permitted. The same water goes to the Yamuna. Importantly, DPCC cleared these same STPs after its tests. https://t.co/OHXIz7Ox8t

India-US relationship is at its worst, at least since the Cold War. India now faces the highest tariffs in the world. The US is no longer in the business of balancing China, which will inevitably impact its relationship with India.

The doctor says you should leave the city for 6-8 weeks if you have chronic lung disease... What do the Union, State and Municipal govt suggest that most people who don’t have that luxury do? #Righttocleanair #Delhipollution #pollution

Terrible air in Delhi today, you can see it. It’s just ash grey, meanwhile on Central Pollution Control Board app SAMEER, the last reading is from yesterday. The other website I routinely check seems to have given up #FightToBreathe #HawaKaHaq

Since pollution is a mild 350 Why GRAPple with it at all Why close schools Why wear masks Why is Delhi one giant cough & wheeze? Why are cough syrups, inhalers & air purifiers flying off the shelves? Since pollution is a mild 350? #delhipollution #righttocleanair

The AQI monitor hit the maximum recordable reading in about 20 seconds. There’s no doubt that the actual AQI is much higher. Yet the government app shows the pollution to be ‘only’ 361. All this just to avoid further GRAP restrictions? @CPCB_OFFICIAL

More Than 17 Lakh Deaths in India Linked to Air Pollution in 2022: Lancet Report Fun-Facts: #This is an increase of 38% since 2010 #GOI has said it does not have the data! https://t.co/4KK2xm1JuL

In the past, however, the Union government has repeatedly insisted that there is no data to show that air pollution causes deaths.

When the air turns toxic, the monitors go missing😅 65% of Haryana’s monitors offline, and 20 of 32 in the neighbourhood missing too. No intent to bring back #CleanAir? @Haryana_spcb @CPCB_OFFICIAL

Retired couple kept under ‘digital arrest’ for three days during which the accused made them transfer Rs 50 lakh for ‘verification’. Wonder how many senior citizens have been scammed like this? How many even file FIR’s? https://t.co/woVFoNmHZi

It was only after the money was transferred and the accused disconnected the call that they realised that they had been conned and approached the police.

So how many ‘non-citizens’ or suspected foreigners did the Election Commision find after the SIR exercise in Bihar?

Yet another case of digital arrest of senior citizens. Are issues facing the elderly not important to the govt? For starters what stops it from ensuring that cyber fraud against senior citizens is treated as an aggravated offence?

Accustomed. Fatigued. Desensitised. Dilliwalas don’t wear masks anymore, no matter what the AQI says. “Normal hai.” “We’ve seen worse.” “Living with it.” The air’s “very poor,” the sky’s grey, and yet the city moves on; jogs, marathons, weddings, school runs, sports/golf
