Video Description

This special report examines the controversy surrounding Delhi's air pollution data, with experts debating the true impact of stubble burning versus vehicular emissions. The discussion features Chandra Bhushan, President and CEO of the International Forum for Environment, Sustainability, and Technology (iFOREST), and environmentalist Vimli Dujan, who question the reliability of official satellite data on farm fires. Chandra Bhushan claims, 'Now surveyed on the ground very clearly shows that there has not been material difference on the ground as far as farm fire is concerned.' The conversation also explores the roles of vehicular pollution, the need for a regional action plan for the entire National Capital Region, and the limitations of the government's Decision Support System (DSS). The panel discusses why Delhi's air quality remains poor year-round and the challenges in implementing effective, long-term solutions beyond the seasonal focus on stubble burning. #DelhiAirPollution #DelhiAirQuality #StubbleBurning #itwebvideos #FarmFires #AQI #DelhiSmog #PollutionCrisis #ChandraBhushan #RightToBreathe #CleanAirForAll #VehicularPollution Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
