Besides gaseous pollution, the reason to be concerned is also PM-2.5, dust particles below 2.5 microns . DHOOL in Hindi, which is being produced from the avoidable demolition of not so old houses by the builder lobby to make them stilt plus 4 stories houses for more profit.
Encroachment
In each and every lane in Delhi, the balconies of first or second-floor build outside the actual construction area usually above the road, these type of construction block sunlight and clean air which is an essential requirement to lead the healthy life.
New Cleaning System
And finally, Delhi must have a new cleaning system for roads and public places. That is Vacuum cleaning by machines instead of manual brooming which just helps make the surface look cleaner but makes the environment more polluted and the dust remains in here forever.
So these are our ideas and we are sure that if most of the Delhiites follow few or all the ways, the pollution in Delhi will be reduced in remarkable extent. There is much to learn and write. We need to be more aware of our ecosystem.
