Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has voiced strong concerns about the dangerous levels of pollution in Delhi, describing the situation as "unconscionable" and "uninhabitable." Tharoor pointed out that the capital's hazardous air quality is taking a severe toll on the health of its residents, leading to respiratory diseases and other health issues.
The senior Congress leader questioned whether Delhi should continue to be the capital of India, considering the dire environmental conditions. He argued that the government must take urgent and decisive action to combat the pollution crisis, suggesting that Delhi’s status as the nation's capital could be re-evaluated if the situation does not improve.
Tharoor’s remarks come amidst growing concerns about air quality in Delhi, with air pollution levels frequently exceeding safe limits, especially during the winter months. Many experts and environmental activists have called for more stringent measures to reduce pollution, including stricter regulations for industries, better waste management, and the promotion of green technologies.
