Pollution Problem in Delhi NCR

[LordSpymaster]

Started wearing this mask from today when I walk to & from work:

Honeywell PM 2.5 anti-pollution foldable face mask, Multicolor, Pack of 3: Amazon.in: Industrial & Scientific

Never thought it'll come to this, but screw all of us collectively, right? :/

Edit: I got these for 200, even though current price is 2K.

Delhi pollution: Why allow crackers at religious functions, says Supreme Court

I guess it is easier to ban 500/1000 rupee notes than to take a risk banning firecrackers.

Trucks to enter Delhi only after midnight till January 31: Lt Governor Najeeb Jung

As part of measures to curb air pollution in the capital, Lt Governor Najeeb Jung on Tuesday ordered that trucks coming from other states will be allowed to enter Delhi only after midnight till January 31 next year. Although the LG has lifted a ban on construction and demolition activity imposed last week, the ban on firecrackers and diesel generating sets will continue in the city.

Reimpose odd-even if pollution reaches ‘emergency’ level: SC

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered reimposition of the ban on private vehicles in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) on the basis of odd-even registration numbers if the air pollution level reached the “emergency” level.

The air pollution level would be categorised as “emergency” if the particulate matter (PM) 2.5 exceeded 300 microgram per cubic metre (MCM) or the PM 10 crossed the 500 MCM mark and remained at this level for 48 hours.

Other steps that can be taken if pollution reaches alarming levels:

• Ban entry of Diesel trucks into Delhi except those carrying essential commodities
• Closure of schools
• Ban on use of generators
• Increase parking charges by 3-4 times
• Ban on use of coal/firewood in Hotels/eateries
• Schools would be asked to suspend outdoor activities/sports events
• Restriction on use of kerosene/diesel gensets
• Action against visibly polluting vehicles, industries and burning of garbage.
