The air has been getting hazy, and unless we ensure that the government takes action, the future also could look very hazy.
But all hope is not lost — in the last two years, we have already seen some momentum.

However, we have to continue to ensure that the NCAP is not just lip service but urgent, science-based action. If we build a movement of millions of Indians demanding cleaner air, the government will realise they can’t be complacent.
