Air quality is threatening for us

Kashmir Times. Dated: 11/17/2018 1:22:26 PM

Dear Editor,
The deteriorating air quality is the matter of concern in our cities whether it is burning of garbage, grass or auto-emission. The environment watchers have sounded caution as the dangerous level of air quality may be dangerously unhealthy for us. The prevailing smog gives ample opportunities for stagnant air to fill with pollution, turning our cities into a drastic polluted proportions. Degradation of environment, haphazard growth and piling up of solid waste are the appropriate recipe for any tragedy. So the old vehicles need to be phased out in a time bound manner in the cities and alternative fuels like CNG or LPG should be made available to the public. Appropriate steps need to be taken to check pollution caused by factories in and around our cities. Health of the people should be the prime concern of the government.
