Suggest the Delhi Pollution Control Board to visit the village Kishangarh in Vasant Kunj Police Station area in anonymity, establish the facts and then take action. more

Nothing will ever be achieved by such restrictions. What is needed is more grass on unused parts along roads, sweeping of roads by mechanical means for excellent cleaning effect, Watering of roadside parks and central verges where shrubs/ flowers may be grown. Only these things will help, apart from methods by which farmers will not need to burn the fields clear of crop waste. This can only happen if the equipment for this activity is operated through Co-operatives at very low cost, maybe something like Rs. 5 - Rs.10 per acre. more
