Pollution control: India pushes for joint effort with Pakistan, Bangladesh
The Daily Guardian
|November 14, 2024
Describing pollution as a "transboundary" issue, India has urged nations, especially Pakistan and Bangladesh, to take proactive and collaborative measures to manage and mitigate air pollution across borders.

This appeal comes as northern India has been witnessing a rise in pollution with New Delhi's air quality hitting a 'severe' level for the first time this season, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 418, on Wednesday.
Ministers and heads of delegations from six of the eight countries that share the Earth's tallest cryosphere zone met at a meeting hosted by Bhutan's Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay on day two of the global climate conference COP29 in Azerbaijan on Tuesday, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) said in a statement on Wednesday.
ICIMOD is a regional intergovernmental learning and knowledge sharing centre.
In the meeting, India highlighted air pollution as a pressing and shared challenge within the Indo-Gangetic Airshed.
