I'm from Rajasthan & AQI of my city is just 51 . Feeling so fresh & blessed. My semi-desert area is much better than big metro cities.
Which city? The map shows Rajastha to be bad as well
@@the_number_one I'm in Jaisalmer right now. Though my hometown is Hanumangarh, Northern most district of Rajasthan (adjoining Punjab & Haryana). The day i commented on this platform, AQI of Delhi was around 900,of Hanumangarh 74 & Jaisalmer 51.Western & Southern parts of Rajasthan are still lesser polluted than Northern-eastern parts of the state.Pollution of Punjab & haryana & Delhi is affecting us as well but not that much, local pollutants emmission is much lesser.
Bhai bikaner may haryna aur punjab kaa dooooaaa aaagaya hay
@@kartikeysharma1755 ha bhai. Ab to hmari side bhi thoda pollution aane lga h. But abhi itna jyada nhi h , Delhi jitna.

And after 11months we made it even worse. Wow.
Actually it is lesser than it was last year's..
I am currently doing a school project in Denmark about this subjekt. And i just wanted to say that this video was VERY helpful, and the girl was really good at explaining - thank you for the help
But i am having a little trouble understanding some of the words, so if you could put subtitles on the next time it would be super nice :)
@@thelastsoad1 there are no subtitles for this video

Haha. So funny!
@Shubham Choudhary yes they are fake propaganda makers. PUNJAB right now is contributing the most in the pollution of Delhi NCR .
@Shubham Choudhary okkk include punjab also, so what next, brother concentrate on problem not wording, we are in very big problem and together we have to go green and do the things to clean our beautiful dilwalon ki delhi
This video is great. Unbiased, just stating the facts.
And the girl is cute xD
Can't believe this video is one year old, it is even more relatable now, instead of making it better the situation even got worse
I see a lot of divide and finger pointing between residents of north and south India. Can we all remember that we are all Indians and a country like us has many weakness . Let us not fight with each other but fix those problems together and Improve our homeland. Stay safe. Love you all. From West Bengal India. :)
we will fight cause we get less tax benefits cause its spent on bimaru states and they aren't even developing
How about we go green on new year eve too ?? Throughout the world what say??
Hi Sandhya! It was a pleasant surprise to find you here at ThePrint.
I have been following you on twitter and Quora since 2012 from one of your answers on GoT (Us fans were still very few at that time). I remember being really impressed by you because you went from RTMNU to NYU and still had such diverse interests as could be seen in your answers.
I took a break from all the Social media 3 yrs ago and completely forgot about you; and today I stumble upon this video as CZcams recommended it to me. (Have been following Print since Shekhar Gupta left IE)
Really glad to see how your career has shaped up with you now becoming a full time journalist with such a reputed house, that too from being an engineer no less!
I feel like meeting an old lost friend; just wanted to let you know.
Good luck for your future endeavours!

Why does the title includes North India as a whole. I live in Dehradun(Uttarakhand) and here AQI is 57 even after Diwali.
good point. and you are very beautiful. i just had to say it.
Diwali is not a primary reason for air pollution. These morons always point out diwali as a cause for air pollution. They don't see vehicles running 365 days on the streets, large factories, power plants. They just see diwali. Do they care about animals on bakri eid? no, but they start caring about animals on diwali. Hypocrites.
You are too north India right..
Then why.. you people are polluting and it comes to south..
You useless people in India..
Waste population machines..
@@karthikc2899 bro its doesn't comes to south from north but the opposite. winds comes from bay of bengal and arabic sea towards north.
@@karthikc2899 dumb
We need to plant trees, we need to stop littering, we need to use public transport more, we need to do whatever it takes to stop this dangerous condition
Northern states need to release a health advisory like Delhi so that more people can be made aware of the danger in which they are living right now.
Ok

Very relevant discussion. Thanks The Print
India step it up guys.
Thank you very much for the clearly well researched information. Keep sharing. Regards
it sucks that all those people without homes and a lot of other people with home won't be able to afford the air purifying systems. Not reducing pollution is equivalent to leaving the poor to die in gas chambers
I am from Tamil nadu and i am so thankfull
Hi Sandhya, it was a nice quick info on the problem. It seems terrible what wil happen to the kids leaving in Delhi when they grow up in 10 to 15years and it will be much worse than now..... And even Bengaluru too getting into suffocated zone.. although relatively it safer. But I am sure it is heading towards, hope we contribute atleast to delay the process as reversing is almost impossible....
Why did you blur the A in damage??
They must have misplled it.
I had same question
Love the clarity on the issue and good articulation ability 👌👍
Plant more trees in northern India to reduce air pollution.why south India have a healthy air quality because there are more trees.
Free knowledge is always appreciated, subscribed!
No wonder, why indians especially the youngsters want to leave india and settle permanently in developed countries for better quality of life. Why india is so populated, why indian rivers are so polluted, why indian air is so polluted, why india is so unemployed, why india is so expensive in health and education.
Thanks for such a brief but fully researched knowledge.
Best vid on this topic so far
Delhi is the most polluted.
It is one of the reasons why our beloved PM spends most of his time abroad.

Jammu Kashmir and bhutan sets at a really high altitude and the range of pollution is less whereas in delhi and all the cities from punjab to west bengal lies at a low altitude and in indo gangetic plain. Where Himalayas are a boon as well a devil.
How beautiful she explained.
Firstly stubble burning is in Punjab mostly. And wind direction keeps changing all year.
Amazing presentation! I am totally impressed by this journalist 😀

Thanks mam. Very meticulously explained.
So, people in Delhi indirectly smoke cigarettes a day
Paddy straw can be used to grow paddy straw mushroom.....pls give awareness about it
Why ur saying its north its only delhi
well explaination, You have covered all the important topics regarding air pollution and given preventive measure's.
Thanks Rohini Swamy & The Print
can you hear all those background noises made by cars and bikes? tell the people who work near home to use bicycle like in China.. this fascination with growing two wheelers and four wheelers is one of the the main reasons we are here today.
Reliable infrastructure for electric two-wheelers is the need of the day. If most people switch from petrol to electricity, both noise and air pollution will come down drastically.
@@ParasGudka and where does most of our electricity come from? Have u ever counted that?
Everybody should start wearing masks. Let these ignorant politicians and government machinery know, how pathetic their performance is.
Wow what a theory of wind taking sand up from middle East to New Delhi alone!
Because India must be super power by 2020
We need more of such videos
I never realized all this time that even southern parts of the country is responsible for pollution problem in Northern India. It's time for Heavy afforestation measures across India. Once again very nice video #ThePrint
Pollution and deforestation are the twin children of same mother called over population.
@@rex_schd True , but govt. and people are denying it and not willing to take any measures at all even for long term
@Sun Shine But one can stop the pollution at their place. Our govts. are trying some measures but are inadequate
Ashish Entertainments (AE) STFU brain dead racist!! Try to understand what he's saying before writing shit.
Interesting how 13 power plants around Delhi got a brief mention but poor people and farmers got the majority of lecturing.
Raise plants every where is the only solution for air pollution
Very informative! Thank you
Good luck solving the problems with " indian" attitude
very well explained..thank you😊
0:58 It's micrometres, not microns. Just like it's degrees Celsius, not degrees centigrade. It's been over 50 years since those terms have been deprecated, please stop using them.
Very nice report. Very impressive!! Thank you
Super Mam , Got the Clear Picture of our Problem now , Thank you
It would have been very nice if you stressed on using public transport more. The government should also improve the infra needed.
Go to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines for better quality of life.
Which country was successful in the ODD and Even scheme to handle pollution? As far as I know, no country is currently using the ODD and Even Scheme or ever used it to handle pollution.
It's all fake we have hilly areas and there is very less pollution explain about Dehli's pollution first
Nice to see only the print can talk of the topology factor. Non did so ever.
Very well put.
Not north
Build industrial air purifiers all over the country. Plant a billion trees and make rooftop gardens mandatory.
1 dislike from because in the remedy portion you just ask people for precautions before entering in the pollution but you should have told about how we can improve our environment there is no message conveyed other than selfishness , if nature become selfish then no life can sustain on this earth mind it speaker , everyone knows the cause but no one coming forward to help nature as a human
Why did they blurred the A in damage??
Because they mistyped it as DEMAGE
Now this is my kind of news
That is a well documented presentation. Thumbs up from my end.
person burns stubble, sees pollution, blames winds.
Mam let me correct you that AQI level in Delhi NCR has been tremendously increased now and somewhere around they were detected at around more than 1200
AQI stopped at 999 bro. It meant that it was not able to read anymore its maximum capacity was till 999. So just imagine it has crossed that level as well.
Very informative!!
Diwali did you guys soo bad huh?
Very good video.
We don't have commitment to fix pollution issue. We want to work with it than eradicate it.
That is the reason for perpetual problem.
Insightful!!
Instead of burning the crop can't we feed it to the cattle?
small window between the crops is one of the reason its not possible
Hard to chew
heard it can be used as biofuel.
Also Burning is simple and easy
noone breeds cattle . Tractors have replaced them.
We lost our childhood wali Delhi nobody bothered..
Plant more trees.
I like her English and the clarity of speech.
Monsanto, causing the Agri waste burning at the wrong time...#Save India from Monsanto
grow more trees across farm fields and also in the cities. Also throw the seeds by helicopter you can cover very large unused area to grow forest.
Wow ! Thanks 🙋👏👏👏👌👌👍👍
When I visited Delhi, the people are well mannered, they are hard working, but there is one thing that I was apalled at, the river Yamuna. It's shocking how people of such a prestigious city can tolerate such defilation of such an iconic river.
Yamuna is getting slowly cleaned
Water vapor is particulate matter?
Thank God !! Someone Talked About Topography 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥
it has to be talked about. And it also should be realised that unnecessary burning of things in a closed will eventually suffocate us.
Dont say north himachal is not polluted
90% north is
@@bitik9847 😂ok
@Sun Shine then how delhi represent whole north
@@bitik9847 can you mention the 90% northern states?
Great job describing the problem
Air quality is good after rains so make artificial rain using sewage treated water to solve the problem

*"Humanity has only a hundred years left either to leave earth or perish."* these are not my words but Stephen Hawking's. Why? First, here are a few reasons as to why you should continue reading:- 1)This is a very serious topic, you should know about it. 2)solutions about how to cease the process of degradation of our environment. 3)Awareness. 4)You will regret it if you don't. Whenever you switch on the TV and watch the news, the headlines mostly comprise of flood reports, rising level of river water, landslides and also animals entering the places of human dwellings. All these cause heavy loss of both life and property. This all my friend is man's doing. How? Well for the sake of development tress are being cut recklessly. 'Oh here goes again the boring piece of writing about don't cut trees and save trees'. No, truly I'll be telling you about a number of other things you should know or else you're doomed. Everyone surely knows about the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica and the ill effects of the layer degrading completely. The ozone layer protects life from various kinds of life threatening diseases. If the ozone layer were not present in the earth's atmosphere, maybe life would not exist altogether. But the activities of humans have caused excessive air pollution which will soon, very soon intact, degrade the layer completely. But all we care about these days is about a new application or the latest movie coming up. We read at a number of places about the polar caps melting and the climate becoming hot. This, too, is our own doing. Due to the glaciersf melting, the rivers and the seas have a higher water level which leads to floods. What about landslides? Trees bind the soil together and lack of trees is a welcome to landslides. If your house gets destroyed due to xyz reason where would you go? No idea right! Now think about animal life, we are mercilessly destroying their habitats for our own benefit, the benefit which would have no value if humanity vanished altogether. Trees not only provide food, shelter and oxygen(can't live without this) but also play a vital role in controlling the environment. Every one is us has one way or the other heard about the *Chipkoo movement/Andolaan*, getting to know would not do the job. It's time to think about the actual threats to life and do something about it. The UK has declared a state emergency on climate change because of a heatwave. The highest recorded temperature was 38.7℃ in Cambridge, Botanic Garden on 25July 2019. In India, on the other hand the temperature has exceeded 50℃ in many parts of the country. Now you'll say India has a subtropical climate. There haven't been floods and landslides in the UK. They still have declared *climate change* as an emergency. The top ten polluted cities in the world are *Kanpur, Faridabad, Varanasi, Patna, Delhi, Lucknow, Agra, Muzzafarpur, Gurugram and Bameda*. Nine of these are in India. Breathing in the air of this quality is equal to smoking 44 cigarettes a day. You'll be sick even if you don't smoke. It's high time for our government to actually do something about climate change. How can we contribute? Here are some ways:- 1) Carpools- seem stupid but are very effective so get in touch with your neighbours. 2)Plant trees(lots and lots) 3)conserve water 4)Don't burn crackers (life is more precious than a festival) 5)Switch to sustainable and eco- friendly sources of energy (solar energy) 6) Aware people. Instead of sending jokes and messages which will be forgotten send this message to people, it is sure to help them and you - yourself.
Rest in peace idiot i mean India we will miss you
India people have done this
Pollution and extreme weather is two reason why I don't prefer Delhi.
Stop building cement roads.
