Well, a few months ago, I have gone a trip to North India to Delhi with my ten friends And I have already heard that, uh, uh, in Delhi is the one of the place that most polluted in my entry, but I doesn’t, uh, think that it would be the city. Uh, after after claiming here, I just realized that the city is very polluted a lot because I’m I’m a person who is very sensitive to sensitive when it comes to dust and uh, pollution, air pollution, especially. And when we reached there and, uh, we felt like I felt like I can’t even breathe without of without of the, uh, the polluted air. And I started my face have turned red And my friends, all of my friends were very worried about me, and they also thought to cut out our, uh, trip in short. But we all have a rush to the, uh, our rooms to get a fresh air because when we reach not a not only about the pollute because of the vehicle, They’re also taking place at kind of some kind of festival, uh, temple festival, and the people are using colored powders, throwing color powders, and also using firecrackers. Uh, the smoke of fire cap firecrackers is, like, we were so exhausted and suffocating of the of the bread we are taking. So we have rushed to the hotel room and I think government have to take serious action towards this because the this place is going is out of control. And I think people all of the people are suffering because of this problem and the children, uh, I have heard the children also having a lot of health issues mainly, uh, lung, lung related diseases like asthma and other disorders. And I think they need to take this uh, an action. And we all know that our our environment has a capacity to purify uh, by the trees and greenery by itself. But, unfortunately, it’s a city. There is less trees and greeneries. Are they So it doesn’t have a capacity to, uh, purify it themselves. So I think the government had to take the, uh, action against this, and I will definitely see, uh, before I come.

A few months ago, I went on a trip to North India, specifically Delhi, with ten friends. I had heard that Delhi was one of the most polluted cities, but I didn't realize just how bad it would be. As soon as I arrived, I felt the impact of the pollution. I'm very sensitive to dust and air pollution, and I couldn't breathe properly. My face turned red, and my friends were worried about me. They even suggested cutting our trip short. We rushed to our hotel rooms for some fresh air. The pollution wasn't just from vehicles; there was a temple festival happening, and people were throwing colored powders and setting off firecrackers. The smoke from the firecrackers was overwhelming, and we felt exhausted and suffocated. It was clear that the government needs to take serious action to address this issue. The pollution is out of control, and people, especially children, are suffering from health problems like asthma and other lung diseases. We all know that trees and greenery help purify the air, but Delhi is a city with limited green spaces. It can't purify itself. The government needs to take action to improve the situation. I definitely wouldn't visit Delhi again until the air quality improves.
