AIR POLLUTION: इस कदर मुश्किल हुआ, जीना मेरे शहर मे, साँस के हर घूँट मे बस, जहर निगलना पड़ता है!

In 2021, studies showed that the estimated average lifespan lost to pollution was 9.7 years in Delhi. Two years later, it has climbed to 11.9 years. This only means that the city is fighting a losing battle against toxic air and the situation is getting worse.

RWAs question the City Government & all the concerned Air Pollution Control Agencies of Delhi, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?"

Situation is turning worse, day by day & you people are just playing gimmicks with the residents. If you are serious in your efforts, how the estimated average lifespan lost has increased from 9.7 years to 11.9 years in just 2 years, asks B S Vohra, President, East Delhi RWAs Joint Front, A Federation of Resident Welfare Associations.

According to the analysis, Delhi's yearly average PM2.5 level in 2021 was found to be 126.5 g/m3, which is more than 25 times the WHO's recommended limit of 5 g/m3. This number was discovered to be a little lower in 2020, at 107 g/m3.

But this is just an Average, while during the peak of winters, when Vehicular Emissions, Dust Particles & Parali Fires club together, we are forced to breath-in, the AQI of 10 times of the above said average, which clearly means upto 250 times of the WHO's recommendations, says Vohra, the Environment Activist from RWA Bhagidari, Delhi.

Just want to drag your attention towards the HT Front Page news in September 2017 - Breath Delhi Air, Die Early, which clearly showed the pollution status of our city, Delhi, The National Capital of India, and even after such a stern warning, the situation is worsening further:

We try our best to raise the issue regularly on every platform, be it Newspapers, TV Channels, or the Social Media, i.e. via our Facebook, Youtube, Twitter & Blog - B S Vohra, Environment Activist 

Vohra's video on Air Pollution in November 2017 was widely shared worldwide, by Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Movies, Daily Motion, Telegraph, etc., exhibiting a severe medical emergency in Delhi:

We had even demanded a special fund for Delhi, from the Late Finance Minister of India, to control the Air pollution - B S Vohra, Environment Activist

But whats the outcome? The situation has worsened even further, as the estimated average lifespan lost has increased from 9.7 years to 11.9 years in just 2 years, in Delhi. Definitely, the concerned agencies are not moving in the right direction, says Vohra.
