Idk why but the air quality dropped 3x(300->1200) in the past 2-3 days again in Delhi.

Good thing that the bjp-cool has managed to label all anti-pollution protests as “Maoist” so nobody dares to protest anymore since the government can and will throw you in jail for a decade without trial.

Most people don’t care and are out enjoying the weekend in this lethal air.

    There are no emission controls in place for vehicles except that it’s illegal to use cars older than 15 years in the area.

    This seems like less of an approach for controlling emissions and more of a “fuck the poor” law.

      It is. Top bjp-cool ministers have huge stakes in vehicle and fuel industry. Recently, the government enforced 20% ethanol blending in Petrol which was directly led by a minister who owns an ethanol company whose stock surged by like 500% before they rug pulled it.

      Public Transport is dying in the country and they keep building roads every few months on the same location.
