Now that the festival of Diwali is here, the climate of Delhi-NCR has started becoming toxic not only for human being but also nature. The smoke of firecrackers increase the pollution so much that even in afternoon the sun is covered and there is no trace of sunlight. It is a matter of regret that India is ahead of all the countries of the world in terms of pollution. Not only this but you will be surprised to know that 22 cities of India are included in the list of 30 most polluted cities of the world. According to the Meteorological Department, in the next few days, the AQI level of Delhi will reach around 300. In such a situation, it should be our endeavor not to spread pollution on Diwali by burning crackers or by any other means and also plant saplings for clean air.
