Living in Tikri Khurd, Delhi, my family and I are facing a dire situation. The air around us, once fresh and breathable, is now choked with the toxic fumes of burning construction debris. This illegal activity is not only a blatant violation of environmental norms but is also endangering the health of all residents in the vicinity. We are increasingly falling sick, with respiratory issues compounding our daily struggles.

In our neighborhood, the burning of garbage from construction work is not an isolated event. It is a recurring problem that remains unchecked. With every illegal fire set, the quality of air deteriorates further, exposing everyone, especially the children and the elderly, to heightened risks of asthma, bronchitis, and other severe health conditions. The pungent smell permeates our homes, making it nearly impossible to find refuge indoors.

Adding to our distress is the fact that many of us cannot afford air purifiers or expensive healthcare solutions. We are desperate for relief and plead for immediate intervention. The situation demands the attention of local authorities who can enforce laws against such hazardous practices.

The solution lies in urgent action from the concerned municipal bodies. We need regular inspections in our area, imposition of fines on those violating the ban on garbage burning, and provision of alternative disposal methods for construction waste. Public awareness campaigns could also be instrumental in curbing this menace.

We call upon the Delhi Pollution Control Committee to take decisive steps to safeguard our health and the environment. By signing this petition, you are standing with the residents of Tikri Khurd in our fight for cleaner air and healthier living conditions.

Your signature can make a difference. Please sign this petition to end the burning of garbage in Tikri Khurd. Together, we can bring about the change necessary to protect our community and our health.
