@mpcb_official @CPCB_OFFICIAL whats the point of giving these directives year after year when there is no proper implementation? @navalMH @CPPuneCity @PuneCityPolice #Airpollution #Pune
Loud crackers are still going off after 10 pm in neighbourhoods across Pune. I tried reporting it and the MPCB app showed a server error. Who is enforcing the Bombay High Court’s directions in Pune tonight, and where should residents report violations when the MPCB app fails? @mpcb_official @PuneCityPolice @PMCPune @CPCB_OFFICIAL @navalMH

@Our celebrations shouldn't trigger asthma attacks or gasping for air. Firecracker smoke fills the air with toxic heavy metals that permanently damage lungs, especially for children and seniors. Stop the burn. 🪔🚫🫁 #SayNoToCrackers #AirPollution #HealthCrisis #RightToBreathe

Delhi’s pollution problem doesn't begin with Diwali fireworks or end with the stubble-burning season. Its industries emit year-round. To illustrate the scale of the problem: 54% of high-polluting units breached emission limits this season. Read here: indianexpress.com/article/ci…

#PeekOnGround: In violation of the Supreme Court's orders, illegal firecrackers are openly being sold in the national capital, in violation of the Supreme Court's orders. Our investigation from Delhi's Sadar Bazaar shows firecrackers without the official CSIR-NEERI logos being sold openly under the watch of the Delhi Police.

If an ordinary citizen defies a court order, the full force of the law comes down on them. But when a powerful IAS officer allegedly tells departments not to comply with court orders, the system suddenly discovers compassion & procedural restraint. VIP culture of bureaucracy⬇️

Calling the clearing of native trees, shrubs & vegetation “ecological restoration” is environmental doublespeak. Destroying the topsoil, disturbing habitats & exposing the earth cannot restore a forest or an ecosystem.

A major milestone for the Delhi Fire Service (DFS)! ​For the first time in 84 years since its establishment (1942), a large-scale cadre expansion has been approved. With 2,345 new posts created under the Chief Minister's initiative, the total strength will increase from 3,096 to 5,441. ​This will significantly strengthen rapid response and emergency rescue operations. #DelhiFireService #DFS #Delhi #Safety @LtGovDelhi @gupta_rekha @ashishsood_bjp

A special sighting in Delhi! 🐦✨ The striking Pied Kingfisher, spotted in the heart of the city. A reminder that Delhi’s urban landscape still holds wonderful surprises for bird lovers! 🌿 @nehaa_sinha @sumitdookia @birdcountindia @IndiAves @WetlandsInt_SA @BNHSIndia @indian_pitta @AsianWildlife @ParveenKaswan @devasar @BhavreenMK @Warriormomsin @PadmavatiDwive1 @pfaindia @BirdGuides

Can green crackers be the answer? Calling them “green” doesn’t make the pollution disappear. Green crackers still fill the air with toxins and leave metal residues in the soil. A 30–40% cut isn’t clean — it’s just less dirty. 👉 substack.com/home/post/p-218…

#NewsCentre | 'A blanket BS-VI rule will hit commuters hard. Delhi needs a graded approach, not a one-size-fits-all ban,' says Auto Industry Expert @ArunMalhotra_07 on Delhi's winter pollution curbs He notes that vehicles account for 25–27% of pollution & questions the effectiveness of the proposed curbs. @AshmitTejKumar #DelhiPollution #AirPollution #DelhiNCR

#NewsCentre | “A ban is not a pollution control strategy by itself,” says clean air strategist @BhavreenMK, questioning Delhi's curbs on non-BS-VI vehicles registered outside the capital. She calls for year-round action, flagging inadequate public transport, industrial emissions & garbage burning as key concerns. @AshmitTejKumar #DelhiPollution #AirPollution #DelhiNCR

32,490 TREES TO BE CUT in Karjat, Maharashtra, for a 3,000 MW pumped-storage project. 233 hectares of forest land proposed for diversion. 32,490 trees are not just numbers. They are homes, nests and lives. 💔 How many will be lost before we realise what forests mean to us?
