Lock down in Delhi leading to purity in air

These days Delhi, along with rest of the country is under lock-down to ward off the ill effects of CORONA. I had the opportunity to visit my office for some essential work during this period. I certainly visited with all due precautions. The difference was everywhere. Roads appear far more drive-friendly, with least traffic. Air was purer. Sky also made us realize that the color blue still makes a wonderful combination with thin white clouds. I found that I could travel, in light drizzle, the distance of about 8 kilometers within 11 minutes, which otherwise used to take about half an hour in normal traffic. During this drive I recorded a video as well, which makes things much more clear.Pl access the video at https://youtu.be/9NseWNLKKpw

I realize, these are very difficult times of humanity, with thousands of people getting affected by CORONA around the world, but it also provides us an opportunity to introspect.Nature has its own ways to make us realize about the excesses being committed by us towards humanity. Let us hope the virus gives a way to better and humane world soon.

Hi @rameshnegi

Hopefully this is experience wiil help create public demand for better air quality in Delhi. I was very surprised how locals tend to accept the bad air as something that cannot be changed.

Cheers

Indeed. Results (or aftereffects) will surely make us plan for a better Delhi actually. Thanks
