Faridabad: The air quality of Faridabad and Gurugram has again reached the danger mark. There was fog in the city since morning and breathing started feeling heavy. When you go outside, the taste of the air changes to a slight bitterness, the smell of dust, as if you are getting a warning in advance. Today the average air quality index of Faridabad was between 160 to 180. This falls in the category of moderate to bad, but in many places the situation has become much worse. The air has become so poisonous that now even common people are clearly feeling the effect on their lungs.
The air is poisonous in many places
There is no hope of some relief in other places also. Natthu Colony, New Industrial Town, Sector 11, Sector 46, Sector 30, and Sector 77 here also AQI is between 350 to 471 i.e. very bad. It seems as if a blanket of smoke has spread across Faridabad. Doctors are also openly saying that taking a morning walk in such air, sleeping on the terrace or sending children outside is not free from danger.
The condition of Gurugram is no different
Circumstances will have to change on their own
Overall, the air of Faridabad and Gurugram has now become like poison for humans. Now the time has come that the government, pollution control department and common people should do something together. Otherwise the situation may become even more scary in the coming days. Wear a mask when you go out, use vehicles less, plant saplings at home. Even these small steps can make a difference. After all, air is our need and it is our responsibility to save it.
