On 19th October 2019, the National Green Tribunal, while discussing the ban on the use of Diesel Generators, held that 'Citizens are Entitled to Breathe In Fresh Air'. 

In another news, the CPCB's data post Dussehra reflected a steep downfall in pollution in Delhi, as compared to last year. However, within a week, the air quality dipped as 'Delhi struggled for Breath Once Again'.

With the onset of the season of crop burning, coupled with the festivities, the dream to breathe in clean air in Delhi seems far fetched. While Government intervention is required at large-scale levels, individual contributions at smaller levels can also help bring about big changes.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was recently identified as a verified Decision Maker by Change.org. In his campaign for #FightingPollutionTogether, he has requested citizens to come together with feasible solution for fighting pollution. Regulation on burning of crackers is not only practical but also feasible. The guidelines laid down for #Diwali2019 can be concretised and taken forward to Christmas as well as New Years. Let's make this Diwali all about #DhuaNahiDiya. Thank you for a whopping 10k signatures and I hope you continue to support my ask till we achieve the desired result.
