Incidentally how come IIT Madras having high particulate matter (PM 2.5)...This requires some investigation..IIT Madras is sparsely populated with green vegetation and deer in the sprawling campus!


Lucknow School, IIT Madras are most polluted places in India

A central school in Uttar Pradesh's capital city, Lucknow, has recorded the highest level of suspended particulate matter, PM 2.5 today, followed by the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, while Delhi's Anand Vihar stood third according to the latest report by the Central Pollution Control Board.

The peak levels of PM 2.5, harmful microscopic particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs, were recorded at 477 in a central school in Lucknow. IIT Madras recorded a level of 474, and Anand Vihar recorded a level of 469.

Faculty in IIT and IIM should be held responsible for the pollution there.

They should have checked on this as they are all highly educated and informed people.

They require a dose of hindutva and study how brahmins managed pollution in ancient age . they can call one yoga guru there to deliberate on pollution,lol

I know one Yoga guru at Delhi but he is anti hindutva, Brahmin Bashing and talkative.

The Yoga Guru performing Yagas were the cause and not cure - " ஹோம புகை" I mean!

Enjoy 'ஹோம புகை"

[h=1]Tackling Delhi's pollution problem: An open letter to Arvind Kejriwal[/h]Dear Mr Kejriwal,

I am sure you have plenty on your plate but even as you grapple with how to implement the odd-even vehicle number idea — worth a try in my view — in a city with 8.8 million registered vehicles, I have a few practical suggestions that can be carried out with minimal effort.

Start a visible campaign across the city that tells people how much it adds to pollution each time they take their vehicle out.

The numbers, the data, the statistics on hoardings all over the city will make people more aware and conscious.

Several vehicle owners don’t even think about such things. Hoardings that scream out the facts might goad some —a few I agree, but a few is better than none — into thinking twice.

Fix the signage in Delhi and NCR. Just like aircraft that circle in the air due to congestion at the airport, a number of cars circle in the city due to poor signage.
People who drive their vehicles themselves will confirm what I am saying. I’ll cite two examples.

I have missed the turning towards the old (T1) airport terminal and headed off towards Dwarka at least three times. To return towards the airport means a detour of almost two kilometres once the mistake has been made but I find I am never alone.
