New Delhi is currently choked by Smog, PM level in air is very high. At this time every year, farmers in nearby areas burn stubble burning. This is man made disaster. Odd-even formula is being introduced in Delhi from November 13th to 17th, 2017. Let us hope for the best. Following are the proposals by the Delhi Government:
All Delhi schools will remain shut for the next 3 days.
For the next 5 days, no construction and demolition work will take place in Delhi.
All diesel generator sets have been banned for the next 10 days, except at hospitals and in emergencies.
The Delhi government will supply power to unauthorized colonies which use diesel generators.
The coal-based Power Plants will be shut down for 10 days. There will be no fly ash transportation from the power plant.
The Environment department will launch an app to monitor the burning of leaves.
Vacuum cleaning of roads will start from November 10.
Water sprinkling will start on all roads from the next following day’s.
People should stay at home as much as they can and they should try working from home.
Odd-Even car rationing scheme imposed in Delhi from November 13 to 17
I had heard about it in news. This is some serious issue. If the wind flows and makes the direction to himalayas then it can impact on Kathmandu valley too. That had happened in previous year. How much is the chance of raining there @ProfArunCM ?
Ban air conditioner in Delhi. Plant peepal trees everywhere. Promote shared taxi and shared auto. This is the best long term solution.
Blaming farmers and govt is just a way to shield our own incompetence.
Thousands of villages are submerged in to water to provide water to the big cities. Why this centralized system. Why not money and power be given back to the villages.
Too bad. I am in Ireland but I love Indians even if unfortunately I’ve never been there, but for working reason I talk with Indian people everyday and I absolutely love you all.
This is really sad, I hope the situation will improve.
