Air Pollution - Shockingly, the situation is very grim in Delhi - Top Post on Indiblogger

Delhiites faced the worst ever Air Pollution crisis on the Diwali Night and there was none to utter a word on this mega failure of the concerned agencies. We Tweeted the details to our elected representatives on that very night itself. We forwarded the figures to various Air Quality experts who are regularly visible on the media, for the guidance over such a severe crisis. But we got no answer from anyone. Probably to keep mum is the better option, when the things are visibly out of control.

Please go through various screenshots embedded below, to understand the gravity of the situation on that night in Delhi:

Anand Vihar

PM 10 - 3744

37 times of the permissible limits

Ashok Vihar

PM 10 - 4184

42 times of the permissible limits

Dwarka

PM 10 - 1896, PM 2.5 - 1241

19 & 21 times of the permissible limits

Jahangir Puri

PM 10 - 4499, PM 2.5 - 3201

45 & 53 times of the permissible limits

Nehru Nagar

PM 10 - 3316, PM 2.5 - 2698

33 & 50 times of the permissible limits

Okhla Phase 2

PM 10 - 2974, PM 2.5 - 2555

30 & 43 times of the permissible limits

Vivek Vihar

PM 2.5 - 3388

56 times of the permissible limits

Wazirpur

PM 2.5 - 4659

78 times of the permissible limits

Isn't it SHOCKING that while Delhiites were forced to bear the Pollution levels of up to 78 times of the PM2.5 & up to 45 times of the PM10, our Elected representatives are mum over this very serious issue? Moreover, while we are shouting here over the pollutants of Extreme levels of PM10 & PM2.5, we don't even know the exact figures of the pollutant PM 1, which is not being measured or at least not being shared by any of the official agencies, though it is much more dangerous & much more harmful for the humans.

Shockingly, the situation is very grim but we are not yet serious over the issue.

Festival of Lights or the Festival of Pollution - Top Post on Indiblogger

Can you believe that Delhi was in the Grip of the most severe pollution last night? The levels were so high that it was difficult to breathe for all those having any respiratory issues or other medical problems. It was an acute stage of the Medical emergency all over. I know you won't believe it. So why don't you have a look at the screenshots captured by me last night?

Have you ever thought, ever heard about the Pollution levels of up to 77 times of the permissible limits? This was what we had to bear last night in the city which is the National Capital. It was Scary. It was horrible. It was the most polluted all over the City. The levels of pollution were fluctuating and touching the higher peaks every second minute in almost every part of Delhi.

We just kept on Tweeting to our Elected representatives, warning them of the consequences that may come out of such high polluting levels in the City. But there was no option for anyone of us as the entire city was celebrating the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS - known as DIWALI. It's a great festival - A festival of Lights, Sweets, Gifts, but don't know how it got attached with the crackers and has now turned into the FESTIVAL OF POLLUTION by our own actions.

Since morning I have asked it from all the Air Quality Experts, that include Ms. Sunita Narain, Ms. Anumita Roy Choudhury, Dr. Gufran Beig, that is it possible for the humans to breathe at the pollution levels of up to 77 times of the permissible limits? If one has no option but to breathe in such extreme conditions, what will happen to the human lungs? How long an individual can survive in such difficult conditions? What will happen to the vegetation as well as the Birds & animals on the streets as well as the pets inside? Still awaiting the reply.

Signature Bridge - yet another Land Mark of Delhi

The  675-meter Signature Bridge has been inaugurated today. The beauty of the bridge will make it a yet another landmark of Delhi. The bridge boasts of 127 strands of back-stay cables, spherical bearings of 17,300-tonne vertical capacity, pendulum bearing to resist uplift of 6,300 tonnes, and transportation and handling of 460-tonne pylon base segment and is being projected as India’s first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, with the gesture ‘namaste’ - HT says.
