Pollution Control....
In this context, dear all, I have to say that there is air pollution in environs, water pollution in the rivers, canals, rivulets, noise pollution due to crackers in Deepawali, pressure horns of the heavy vehicles, unnecessary honking of lighter vehicles, loudspeakers in the Mosques etc.
The Supreme Court has, to start with, rightly banned the sale of crackers in and around Delhi, NCR etc. upto 1st November, 2017.
Majority of people, it is seen on the social media, are opposing this move in the name of religion & religious practice of crackers bursting which is traditionally followed across our country.
People have come out with different arguments comparing with sacrificing the goats on Bakrid by Muslims.
It is very sad that we do not realize the deteriorating air quality of New Delhi which has made it one of the Most Polluted cities across the World.
What we think are passing on to the younger generations which have the responsibility of India's future on their shoulders????
Yes I agree that curbing the Sale of Crackers alone does not solve the problem....but a step, in the right direction, once has been taken by honorable Supreme Court must not be objected to by the masses.
Some people have come forward with the argument that by banning the sale of crackers the livelihood of so many poor labourers employed by the cracker manufacturers is in danger....but the same people prefer to buy electrical lights instead of DEEPAKS manufactured by poor KUMHARS of India....
Gradually we should change to battery operated cars but within city limits only....for outside destinations CNG operated cars shall still be required....
This proposal is because this is in the city limits that air quality very badly affects masses.... more
