We, the undersigned citizens, are deeply concerned about the severe air pollution crisis affecting Delhi-NCR. The persistent deterioration in air quality poses an immediate and long-term threat to public health, the environment, and overall quality of life.
Key Issues:
Health Hazards: Rising cases of respiratory diseases, asthma, and other pollution-related illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly.
Environmental Impact: Damage to flora, fauna, and water bodies, and the contribution of pollutants to climate change.
Economic Costs: Decline in productivity, increased healthcare expenses, and loss of tourism revenue.
Demands:
We urge you to take immediate and sustainable actions, including:
Reduction of Vehicular Emissions: Implement stricter emission norms, promote the use of electric vehicles, and enhance public transportation systems.
Regulation of Industrial Emissions: Enforce penalties on non-compliant industries and promote clean technologies.
Curb Crop Stubble Burning: Provide farmers with alternatives to stubble burning and adequate subsidies for mechanized solutions.
Tree Plantation Drives: Increase urban greenery to improve air quality and mitigate the urban heat island effect.
Awareness Campaigns: Educate the public on reducing pollution through behavioral changes and eco-friendly practices.
Call to Action:
We demand coordinated efforts between state governments, local bodies, and the central government to create an actionable roadmap. Establishment of real-time air quality monitoring systems and transparency in reporting pollution levels are also imperative.
The time for action is now. Failure to address this issue will lead to irreversible damage to our environment and future generations. We appeal to you to prioritize this crisis and lead a movement towards cleaner air in Delhi-NCR.
Sincerely,
Hexahome
