Pollution (land, water and air) in general and air pollution in particular was the buzz word of every body few days back in Delhi and its adjoining areas like Punjab, Haryana and UP.

- Dr. SS Verma

Artificial Rain

Breathing have been difficulty for people and schools were closed. Everybody was blaming others for this situation and were expecting a miracle to happen to control it. When people as well as pollution control technologies fail miserably at every level then such situation arises. This is true to some extent that stubble burning might be elevating the pollution problem to some extent but pollution in general and air pollution in particular is always present at its dangerous levels. Nature has all its capabilities to control or nullify all the human sins but many a times it goes beyond that control level also. Increasing population, its environmental non-friendly activities, industrial growth without bothering about the environmental sustainable use of technology, not using effective pollution control methods in industries, un-concerned individually as well as socially about the menace of pollution creation, we only blame each other and look towards the government to find immediate and effective solution for pollution.
