(Express Editorial) Get ready to pay for breathing !

Living is getting costlier. It was already a costly job living in India. Talk about a proper living, that is something you might need to pay a little more extra for. Now get ready to pay for breathing too.

Are we going to pay for breathing? This question may have shocked a decade ago, not now. Today you might start calculating how much may it cost you to breath in Delhi NCR area. If you are disappointed for your breathing, what about your kids?

It might scare hell of a lot. Now you might as well ask- What is the Delhi government doing to curb air pollution? When Delhi Air Pollution displays the AQI touching 700 mark, your question is not curiosity, it is fear.

Has this situation just emerged in one day? Then when it was there for years what was the government doing? Ok, may be government was busy doing more important things than saving lives of the citizen from air pollution in Delhi and NCR, then what is the government doing now?

All the three questions will keep exploring the answers in vain the way the people are looking for a solution in vain. A solution is required for the survival from poison in air. It is badly required if you have kids. Now answer – What best can you do about it?

The stubble burning in neighborly states is the major cause of this but that is also something which is perennially happening. Neither has that been stopped nor found any option to get rid of that.

Asthma, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Lung inaction, Lung Cancer, Throat Cancer, Heart Disease, Skin Disease and many more troubles can target you through the air poisoning. If there is no remedy for air pollution why doesn’t the government shift entire city to somewhere else. If that is also difficult then the people must be given a four months paid vacation so that for next four months they can go out of Delhi to some healthy and fresh air area to live.
