His campaign - #selfiewithgarbage had earlier got a tremendous response from the entire media and authorities were forced to look into the issue very seriously. He is known as the Voice of Delhi and had earlier been awarded by URJA for his very active role in the civil society movement of Delhi.

He is regularly visible on various TV debates and being absolutely apolitical, his voice gets significant attention of the authorities.

Bangalore, January 2019: BMW’s youngest ever DTM champion, Marco Wittmann and actress Shibani Dandekar unveiled a very special video for India. Tailored specially for Indian consumers, the video was unveiled by Marco, BMW, and PUMA on Instagram today. The concept behind the video was to create a deeper connection between Indian audiences and PUMA’s motorsport legacy with BMW. 

In a buzzing video, for the first time ever, you see the city of Mumbai through Marco’s eyes. Accompanied by his India host Shibani Dandekar, he cruises through the streets of Mumbai exploring the urban culture and his need for speed in this fast-paced city. Capturing glimpses of his experience in Mumbai, Marco takes you on a tour of the gullys and streets in amchi Mumbai.  

Cruising the streets of Mumbai and exploring iconic spots, this video captures the urban and gritty vibe of the city. Marco thoroughly soaks in Mumbai in all its elements - exploring Chor Bazaar, checking out the Bandra- Worli sea link and zooming in his BMW across various places in the city. Adding more fun to the mix, Marco can be seen interacting with BMX pros from the city and picking up a couple of tricks from them, meeting local Mumbai rappers and beatboxers who put together a rap to welcome Marco to Mumbai and spent half a day discussing everything BMW with founders and members of Throttle 97, Mumbai’s own car-crazy community. 

Talking about the video Marco said “This was my first visit to India and I have to say everything about it was just spectacular and mega. Shooting this video was so much fun, with all the exploring I saw some amazing parts of Mumbai city – in a neat BMW at that! PUMA made it possible for me to see Mumbai in many unique ways and I am thrilled they could make this happen. PUMA has had a long legacy with motorsports and through this video I hope to build a real connect with motorsport fans in the country”

In association with BMW and PUMA, the video was shot recently when Marco visited India. Grab your PUMAXBMW merchandise today at PUMA stores and on puma.com.

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

Patparganj

PM 10 - 2160, PM 2.5 - 1922

22 & 32 times of the permissible limits

R K Puram

PM 10 - 2925, PM 2.5 - 2301

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.
