    Authorities deployed water guns across India’s capital New Delhi on November 14, 2023, as toxic smog persisted in cities across the country. While the water guns reportedly reduce air pollution, environmentalists argue they only have a limited effect. New Delhi was ranked by Swiss group IQAir as the world’s most polluted city.

      Recycling cost money. Burning doesn’t. Profit driven mindset for Indian industries doesn’t allow recycling to flourish. Sustenance and subsistence farming wise, folks generally are too poor to afford recycling or modern agriculture methods. And of course, the usual suspect, traditional mindset.

    Maybe ban funeral pyres and burning of crop fields, adopt or speed up transition to EV. Where is that high speed rail that Japan has been building for the last decade??? The streets are packed with polluting cars. So many challenges and all Modi wants to do is tax everything foreign even if those imports can significantly help in the EV transition.
