Delhi air pollution
The characteristics of air and water
Can we blame Mr. Kejriwal for
the pollution in Delhi?
Whatever is in it’s vicinity,
the air and water carry them along with them, and take it and disperse wherever
they go… whether it is smoke or viruses,
or fragrant smell, or stinking smell…. The air will take it and spread,
irrespective of whether it is the capital of India, or any other place.
A perfume factory, without
any advertisement, spreads its fragrance everywhere.
The smoke from the garbage
heap, or any form of fire, spreads itself everywhere…
Water also… though pure at
its source in the mountain tops, carry everything: leaves, tree trunks, waste
(…once this “waste” is
identified, like CO2, it can be used to make something else, like
CaCO3, which someone else wants.)
from factories, effluents,
fertile soil by soil erosion etc..
All these pollutants are the
free contribution from our neighbourhood, from factories, animal husbandry, and
now, from the agricultural land also…
Whatever suffering or
suffocation people endure, are not the results of their own making… they are
just victims of what is done somewhere else, even from other states or other
countries.
From the deserts of Africa,
the brown and red dust is carries by wind to other countries.
When the native people are
displaced by their own native government, the countries where they flee,
suffers, and bears the consequences of the refugees.
Those countries struggle, not
because of their own fault, but because of the fault of other countries.
Men in honour, when they
become schemers, innocents suffer.
The causes :
Who produced the smoke and
the soot:
Why did they burn the stubble
and produce the smoke, instead of using it for compost? (Their inability to remove the stubble because
it is labour intensive and time consuming, so they resorted to the easiest
way. Therefore, can we help them…? We can give them enough number ,say , 1000s
of tractors, so that removal and composting is done easily.
When they clear the land,
automatically, the land is ready for the next crop.
By the time the seed time
comes, or the sowing time comes, the compost will also be ready for them, if
done simultaneously.
Result – Those states have
pure air, and there is no smoke to be carried to the capital.
Now the neighbouring states
are demanding Rs. 6000 crores and Rs. 3000 crores for solving the smoke
problem, still no money for Delhi and for the Chief Minster Mr. Kejiriwal for
the execution of the clearance of smoke and garbage !!!!!
In reality, there is no major
problem. All man made problems.
Only some tractors can make the
ground ready for cultivation by removing the stubble and composting is also done simultaneously. No
smoke, no fumes, no soot to be worried about !!
The farm land which is the very origin of pure fresh air , rich in oxygen, the very factory of
oxygen production, with all the lush green plants, will continue to contribute
their share of providing healthy, clean, oxygen rich air as before and
will continue to donate freely their fresh, un adulterated air to the
whole nation - all over India. There is no need to purposely
produce smoke and soot so that others also
suffer.
The smoke which was
intentionally produced, and not by mere accident, will not be present in
future, with a little help from the authorities.
Hence, there will not be a
miniature Union-Carbide accident to suffocate the Indians, as well as the
foreign ambassadors, the students and the working class population who migrated
to the capital.
All the schools can function
in a healthy atmosphere, breathing fresh air.
The prevention of hospital
admissions and medical expenses can be of great help and relief for all who are affected by the breathing
problem.
Then, the tourists from all
over the world can enjoy their holiday, and soak themselves up in the refreshing atmosphere of our capital,
enjoying the historic monuments.
Above all, Mr. Kejriwal
government will be the pride of the nation, enhancing the pride and majesty of
the nation along with the Modi government.
The clean-India image will be
spread all over the world, especially since it is produced by the cooperation
of the agriculturists, the industrialists and the environmentalists of the
country.
In November, December and
January, the humidity in the air is high.
Our festivals like Diwali, Puja, Christmas, New Year, all fall in these
winter months.
Celebrating them with
fireworks add to the pollution along with the agricultural fires.
The dust and the humidity
make the air dense, hence the visibility is hampered. Breathing problems are another by- product of
this.
Therefore, we ourselves have
to decide how :
(…a laser-light show may /
will reduce the pollution…On Diwali Day
, at a particular time , if all people assemble, at Ramleela Maidan, and
enjoy the elaborate laser show for 2-3
hours free of admission fees, it will be a great free festival celebration for all the citizens
irrespective of caste or religion as well as a magnificent attraction for
tourists.)
to celebrate our festivals –
with or without fireworks. Or having a
miniature gas chamber instead.
The choice is ours, and we
have the freedom to put on the mask, or to have free, pure , healthy air.
One advantage is that
hospital bills will be less, and health hazard will be minimum.
Children can have their
classes without any disruption.
As the Pulmonologists suggests,
the lungs of both old and young and children will remain clean, unaffected, pink
in colour and not contaminated by smoke and
turn into black color. Oxygenation of blood make the body and brain work far
better than a tired brain and body. The productivity of children’s education as
well as the productivity of industries also will improve , mainly by people not
falling sick regularly, irradication of
viruses and bacteria etc. Little steps of cleanliness go a long way in the
wellbeing of our nation.
Can we blame the Delhi government or Mr.Kejriwal or should we blame those who set fire to produce smoke purposely or out of their helplessness to have alternative methods. whichever be the reason, will they have the willingness to sort out better measures to collect the agricultural waste with the help of tractors so that all people , including they themselves will have clean and healthy lungs.
