Air pollution in Hyderabad at Delhi level:
Delhi comes to our mind first when we think of air pollution. This cosmopolitan city provides shelter to people from all states... Many people go to Delhi for higher studies or for job opportunities. Delhi is the administrative center of the country... Therefore, politicians and officials are always busy. This has increased traffic congestion and increased air pollution.
There is no need to specifically mention about the industries. The dangerous gases emitted from them are further polluting the air.
However, Hyderabad seems to be slowly reaching Delhi's level... In recent times, air pollution has reached its peak here as well. Recently, on February 24, the Air Quality Index in Sanath Nagar, an industrial area in Hyderabad, was recorded as 431. This is equal to the AQI in Delhi.
Pollution Control Board officials are expressing concern that this level of air pollution is very dangerous for human life. That is why they said that steps are being taken to reduce pollution in this area. Officials said that this situation exists only in Sanath Nagar... The air quality is better in other areas.
The average Air Quality Index in Hyderabad is 108. Officials said that AQI has been recorded above 100 only in Patancheru and Jupark areas after Sanath Nagar... It is lower in other areas.
In the capital of the country, Delhi, the AQI is recorded from 400 to 500 every day. Sometimes it reaches its peak. However, the fact that the Air Quality Index is also recorded so high in Hyderabad is ringing alarm bells... So, even now, we should be careful and take pollution control measures.
