A story of change from my team, that each Residential Colony should adopt n do to their parks. A park that had less than 5% green cover in 2008, has 95% green cover in 2019, with increased water table, improved air quality n drop in temp. Congratulations @swechhaindia

Slightly longish but pretty exhaustive, please watch this conversation I had recently with @samzsays for @the_hindu , for why we will still breathe the same toxic air next year too, or the decade after.

Why blame Rekha Gupta alone, she has only inherited the political practice from her predecessor. Don’t be fooled, the last government of Delhi did nothing to control air pollution, and were as brazen in blaming the farmers one day, or spending most of the pollution mitigation

I spent couple of hours around ITO and CP yesterday, mostly on the road, and since last night I am having a terrible throat pain, running nose and fever. I think it’s true that people breathing that air, on the street each day, are ‘used’ to it, immune system works overtime in

What India has allocated for entire country, for 6 years, to clean its air, China allocated that amount for one year, for one city Beijing, alone. And that’s how. Wining recovered from its air-mess. So next time journalists ask that question, how did Beijing do it, please do the

Let’s do some simple math on the Government’s intent versus its spending on cleaning India’s air and tackling the air pollution crisis. The Government allocated ₹19,711 crore for 130 cities - that’s ₹3,285 crore a year, spread over 6 years, which averages to roughly ₹25 crore

Completely agree with @sunitanar and this is exactly I told you on your show last time too. Disproportionate attention to stubble burning is dishonest diagnosis, leading to misplaced priorities. Having a regional public mobility regime will be one of the biggest moves to cure our
