Okay. According to the cue card, I have to explain the place where I recently been to and the air was not so clear. It was full of air pollution. A year back, I went to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, for my sister's graduation. She was graduating with a master's degree in Business Administration. My family—father, mother, and I—decided to attend her graduation program. So we went to Kathmandu. The moment I stepped out of the airport, the weather was very gloomy. Although there was full sunlight, the sunlight seemed so dim. Then I checked the weather forecast, and it was forecasting 30 degrees Celsius. I was surprised, thinking that even at 30 degrees, why was the sunlight not proper? Why did the weather look so hazy? I realized it was just because of the pollution in the capital city. Being the capital, the population is obviously larger. There are more factories and more traffic compared to other cities. Due to this reason, in these growing years, the number of factories and private cars has been increasing tremendously in my capital. Nowadays, ride-sharing apps like this cab service have gained so much popularity due to the increasing number of vehicles moving in the city. As a result, the pollution is higher. I experienced heavy pollution, and I felt so bad. I think the government should take initiatives to solve this issue because it is not only a problem for the environment; it can also cause human health deterioration.
