I believe that people in general are ignorant of the harmful effect of air pollution. All around the area where I live people continue to burn garbage packed in plastic bags. Garbage is being dumped at all vacant plots and in a clandestine manner they are burnt many a time at night. Sometimes this practice is done by the corporation themselves. There is a lack of supervision on disposal regime at lower levels. The police do not consider this as an important issue to stop people from dumping garbage and burning them. more

EVERY HOUSEHOLD SHOULD HAVE A GAS CYLINDER, SPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS .PENALITY FOR POLLUTING VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCREASED. BURNING OF GARBAGE SHOULD BE AVOIDED. PLANTING TRESS WITH LONG TERM VISION TO PROTECT THE HUMAN LIFE FROM AIR POLLUTION. EVERY YEAR PERMISSION FOR VEHICLES SHOULD BE FIXED AND SEE THAT MORE VEHICLES DO NOT COME ON ROADS. more
