Gas Chamber: First Delhi and then Kolkata will become graves of thousands of people


- Comma

- Talking about Delhi's pollution has become as fashionable as the environment in the country. As talk grows, more and more smoke surrounds the place, which ends up being desperate.

It is a fact that neither the government nor the people are taking the problem of breathing which is the basis of our life seriously. Delhi itself is about to become a tunnel and suddenly news comes that four hundred civilians died in their sleep last night in oxygen-zero weather. Now this is a fantasy, but the reality is now very close to this fantasy. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has a terrible intellectual deficit for this problem of his state and yet he does not want to take HI ie Hired Intellect - borrowed intelligence, and wants to let Delhi go up in smoke in front of his eyes.

Every time the weather changes, the air pollution in and around the country's capital Delhi starts affecting people's breathing. Delhi's pollution has been in the news ever since the Supreme Court of the country started to worry about this polluted air. But recently the Swiss group IQA released a list of the world's most polluted cities, three of which are from India. The cities included in the list have extremely poor air quality. The level of air pollution continues to rise to critical levels. Among them, the worst situation is Delhi. The level of polluted air here has reached 431. An AQI level of zero to 50 is considered good.

After this Kolkata is among the most polluted cities in India. The level of polluted air here has been recorded as 175. With the onset of winter, a shadow of smoke and smog begins to surround Kolkata, just like Delhi. Mumbai is not far behind in terms of air pollution. AQI in Mumbai is at 173. Even the air here is not breathable. Pollution levels have also increased in other cities of the country. Lung, heart and eye patients are increasing in many areas due to non-clearance of smog. Ahmedabad is also now preparing to enter this negative race.

Air pollution is at its peak in the country's capital Delhi due to dense population and high number of vehicles. According to data collected by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) earlier this month, the Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached 431. Which is almost five times more than normal. As a result, the air quality in the National Capital Region, including Delhi, is in a very poor condition. This condition is considered extremely dangerous for the health of human and other living beings. This pollution in Delhi is blamed on the burning of waste in Haryana and Punjab, while apart from ozone present on Earth, this pollution is also caused by carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxide gases. These particles of pollution created by smoke, smog and gases are deadly and difficult to see with the naked eye. Talking about Delhi's pollution has become as fashionable as the environment in the country. As the talk grows, more and more smoke surrounds the place, which ends up being desperate.

Particles 10 to 2.5 micrometers and even finer are called PM-10 and PM-2.5. PM-2.5 particles are mainly produced from diesel, petrol and other fossil fuel fumes. PM-10 particles are made from stubble and other wood and dust. Crop residues are burnt extensively in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and western Uttar Pradesh. As a result, fog has covered the air of Delhi. After harvesting in the month of October-November every year, the remaining branches are burnt in the field. The smoke emitted from these pollutes the air.

Government data shows that 700 crore tonnes of stubble (excess waste after harvesting agricultural crops) is generated in the country every year. 9 crore tonnes of it is available in the fields. However, 31 percent of stubble is used as fodder, 19 percent as bioenergy and 15 percent as fertilizer. However, the remaining 31 percent of stubble has to be burnt in the field, as farmers have no other easy and cheap way to dispose of it. Therefore, despite the intervention of the Supreme Court, the problem of stubble burning has been recurring for the last three decades.

Stubble burning has many disadvantages. Eight kg of nitrogen, potash, sulfur and about three kg of phosphorus from one acre of paddy straw are destroyed by burning. Earth's temperature rises due to fire. Due to this, microorganisms beneficial to agriculture also die.

In Kolkata, however, straw burning does not pollute the air. The amount of pollution in the air here has reached the figure of 175. This pollution damages the lungs as much as smoking cigarettes. A cigarette emits as much as 22 microns of PM-2.5, then how much more poison will be released from cigarettes! According to a CNCI report, 19 out of every one lakh people in Kolkata are suffering from lung cancer. It is considered to be the cause of this pollution. Most of these cancer sufferers are those who go for morning outdoor walks for health benefits.

Due to this mentality, the number of two and four wheeler vehicles has increased rapidly and pollution has also increased to the same extent. According to the Global Disease Report conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, if particulate matter (PM) reaches a level of 2.5, the number of people who die from heart disease in the world increases. It is currently the fifth leading cause of death. The disease is also spreading rapidly in Kolkata.

According to a study by IIT Kanpur, 30 percent of the pollution across the country is caused by vehicles running on diesel-petrol. After this 26 percent is due to coal. Bursting firecrackers on Diwali causes only five percent pollution. Greenpeace, an environmental protection organization, estimates that 1.2 million Indians die every year due to air pollution. This report has been prepared by evaluating the air quality of 168 cities of the country. The most harmful thing is the smoke from the vehicles. The gases and particles released from it increase the amount of pollution in the atmosphere by 40 to 60 percent.

Even today in Kolkata, food is cooked with charcoal and wood in the slums and slums. A large number of laborers cook food using these means on the footpaths here. Due to this noxious smoke is mixed in the air. The air here continues to be contaminated with metals, which is damaging crops. Unusable ships are broken up and destroyed at the port here. These ships are also full of toxic waste. They mostly contain soda ash, battery acid and various types of deadly chemicals. The government has no attention towards it.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

Image
New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized
