| Who will clean the air? Back recently from my third trip, loved it but I swear the pollution gets worse every time. This time was no joke as my 11 yr old got a severe asthma attack (parents beware, take all your asthma meds, my son had not had an attack prior to this for 6 years!). My concern is really for the locals - how can their health hold out when in parts (eg Kolkata) you can just about chew the air? |

| The pollution solution Back in 1998, Delhi was quickly becoming a nightmare of a city. Led by an NGO and with the intervention of the Supreme court a number of bold measures were taken that had a profound effect in checking vehicular poullution in the city. Based on this, I see three main ways in which city pollution is going to be checked:

| Lord of Kalinjar | I too was stunned by my first visit to Delhi in a decade last year-Stunned at how much less pollution there is! And yet, it is said that the current oil price spike has, as one of its primary causes, the fact that India and China are buying all the oil they can find to service their massive demand. Something's gotta give! ![]()

| Yes, I have to agree that Delhi was much better. Compared to the air in Agra and Kolkata it was really a big improvement. I hope something similar can be done in other centres. It was sad to see photos we brought back even from rural Madhya Pradesh, where you can hardly even see the horizon.I don't mean sad for us tourists but for Indians who breathe it every day of their lives. |
