Environmental Security-Delhi's Toxic Air-Strictly Combat Annual Horror

The toxic mix of low wind speed, dipping temperature and dust, vehicular emissions, smouldering waste, wood or coal as well as stubble burning in farms around the National Capital Region has been around for many years This has once again engulfed the area into a thick blanket of smog. On Tuesday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) crossed the 400 mark to plunge into the ‘severe’ category. This is critical for those suffering from respiratory ailments, and also harmful for healthy people.

This grave annual feature has earned Delhi the notoriety of being among the most polluted cities in the world. Couple of remedial steps initiated since 2021 to tackle pollution have not helped.

Two steps are required. One, the daily recording of AQI and its forecast. Two, the Graded Response Action Plan designed to deal with any oncoming critical stage of pollution. The strict implementation of the two measures is essential for desirable outcomes .Most important control the uncontrollable farmers.

Blast in Coimbatore

The case of an LPG cylinder blast in a car in Coimbatore on October 23 in which a youth was killed has become political in Tamil Nadu. The huge amount of explosives found in the house of the youth triggers the suspicion that he and his accomplices with suspected links to ISIS were up to something bigger and nastier and the accidental explosion killing only the driver saved the city and its people. 

National security and the lives of innocent people matter. The state government must come clean on the allegations of specific inputs by the central agencies not acted upon. It must tell the people if they are indeed true, and if yes, then what stopped it from taking timely action.
