The alarmingly high rates of pollution have raised great
concerns for the Government. The dipping air quality index
specifically during the festive season is indicative of the
worsening of the environment and the dangers of the prospective
increase of pollutants therein. The present levels are sufficient
to contribute towards the lower health standards and with such a
poorquality air with dangerous gasses, it shall become difficult
for people to ordinarily breathe in the open air. Visualising the
gravity and sensitivity of the issue, the Central Pollution Control
Board has notified for inviting complaints in this regard.
Pollution
Introduction of contaminants such as any solid, liquid or
gaseous substance present in the surrounding ecosystem in such a
concentration, as may be, or tend to be injurious to environment
including air, water, soil and inter-relationship between living
creatures.
