Over 1 lakh trees were cut in Delhi. The tree cover of our city has been reduced to 10% from the minimum 33%.

This has left me shocked and horrified. An estimated 10,500 people die every year in Delhi, directly related to bronchial and cardiovascular diseases!

And instead of saving Delhi from becoming the most polluted city in the world, the government and it’s agencies cut over 1 lakh trees.

Sign my petition and ask the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to promise to plant 50,000 trees by World Environment Day and save Delhi from becoming the most polluted city in the world.

Delhi has been our home and now doctors have gone on record and said that if anyone wants to remain healthy and safe- they should leave Delhi. I refuse to leave my home because our government has failed to keep pollution in check. But I fear for my family’s health and life. Sign my petition.

Winters in Delhi see more smoke than fog, summers are unbearable. The trees that were the beauty of this city were chopped down- some as old as 100 years. 52,000 trees were cut in our city by Public Works Department (PWD) for various projects until 2010 and they have permission to cut more.

Development should not come at the cost of our health or our children. Our lives and the lives of the children born in this city is reduced by 3 years on an average because of the rise in pollution. Buildings don’t help us breathe, trees do. Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal himself has fallen sick because of air pollution.

I demand Arvind Kejriwal and the Public Works Department to replant 50,000 trees by the World Environment Day on June 5, 2015.

Arvind Kejriwal, don’t let Delhi die.
