Ghaziabad is the biggest, oldest and most populous city of the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi. But seeing the preference index of the people Ghaziabad is at the bottom of all the cities. With Gurugram on the top, followed by Noida, Faridabad, Sonepat, Ghaziabad, undoubtedly is the last choice of the people as well as investors.
The heart will sink in utter frustration when one sees the complete encroached main roads, mostly by the traders, causing heavy traffic jams. This traffic jam is also responsible for air pollution and dust pollution which makes the city the most polluted place to live. There is a heaviness in the air. Nobody is concerned about the gravity of the problem to be so drab. This pollution is rising rapidly It pains to note that the Indian sub-continent has now earned the notoriety of having the highest number of polluted cities in the world that breathes the filthiest air.
The government and the administration are doing it’s best but the citizens are highly uncooperative and unconcerned. Ghaziabad which is situated about 25kilometers north-east from the seat of the Indian national government has an average very poor air quality index — which the US Environmental Protection Agency regards as fit and healthy. This may experience more serious health problems in the coming years.
While air pollution is responsible for the premature death of about seven million lives worldwide every year, India has been facing one of the most serious environmental challenges in its atmospheric history. People are hardly interested in planting and protecting the trees, green areas and forests. Most of the plantations drives are only in files.
About 80 Indians lose their lives every day to air pollution. Air pollution is the major cause of diseases such as heart ailments, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and respiratory problems. Even crops are also infected in the fields itself by air pollution. The figure of the deceased will only swell and its escalation effects to the in general well-being of the people and economy of the nation will be in dire trouble if this avoidable problem is not addressed in time.
Everybody knows that air pollution creates an imbalance in the natural gases that make up the atmosphere of Earth. This unevenness abet in the reduction of the Ozone layer, a vital area of the stratosphere that soaks up most of the sun’s injurious and damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
One of the major culprits behind air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels like oil and gas. In traffic jams the quantity os this is increased many a time. Vehicles in the city, dust pollution due to unplanned construction and urbanization, traffic jams, depleting of green areas and water bodies etc. have further plagued the city of Ghaziabad, which is otherwise tranquil and beautiful with historic tourist sites and has a prospect of becoming a major tourist, financial, health, education and technology hub due to its closeness with the nation’s capital city of New Delhi.
Only if the authorities implement better ways of transportation, almost half of the air pollution problems will be solved. Emissions from vehicles are the major factor in air pollution. When authorizes don’t disciple the rogue drivers to minimize the traffic jams. Encroachments must be removed ruthlessly that is also responsible for traffic jams which increases the emissions; the quantity of pollution in the air freely increases. Authorities should introduce a public transportation system, reducing the number tempos and autos that could help the city enjoy better air quality.
Ghaziabad is famous for the mythological Hindon river. But now this holy river is turned into a dirty water mala (drain) due to the encroachment on the river land and river catchment areas. This is also a reason for the reason for toxic air pollutants. The encroachments from the river banks, water catchment areas, wetlands, water bodies must be removed. Dams should be constructed on the Hindon River. This will naturally increase the green areas and control dust pollution.
The place of India is third in the emission of greenhouse gases, with the United States and China, being first and second. The life expectancy among Indians on an average reduces by 3-4 years due to the severity of air pollution while it reduces 6.3 years among the residents of Delhi.
Millions of vehicles are operated on a daily basis in the NCR Delhi region alone. And Ghaziabad is a round-the-clock thoroughfare for a lot of such vehicles that leave the filthy smoke. A large number of desi and native trees like Peepal, burgud, mango, neem, Sheesham, pilkhan, jamun, shahtoot etc should be planted on the roadsides and river banks to improve the air quality.
People should co-operate with the authorities to address this issue. The people of Ghaziabad need to realize the seriousness of this problem to their own health and help from their sides. The local authorities can force the developers, builders, and construction companies to stringently follow green building norms, among others. Local residents could stop cutting of trees and they can plant more trees instead and harvest rainwater.
