write article on pollution of gaya
Answers
Answer:
Gaya: Lord Buddha attained enlightenment in Bodhgaya, just 10 kilometres away from this Tier-Two town, but enlightenment has eluded Gaya's administrators on ways to make sure that the city is safe for its people.
A global air pollution database released by the World Health Organisation in May 2018, rated Gaya as the fourth most polluted city on the planet in terms of the concentration of fine particulate matter or PM 2.5. The report said Gaya's PM 2.5 level was 149, much higher than considerably larger and more populated cities like Patna and Delhi. When it was released, the report evoked much shock among residents. The media coverage was one which involved much outrage. And then nothing.
In the long time in which the authorities have been trying to figure out how to solve this pollution problem, Dr Faizur Ahmed of the Magadh Medical Hospital has seen the people of Gaya suffer successive bouts of whooping cough, sneezing, itching, eye problems, along with several types of allergy.
Why then, does the issue not become a major poll plank, capable of swaying elections?
Gaya's MP, the BJP leader Hari Manjhi, said he remembers "some WHO report". "Right now I can't recall the steps taken to curb pollution," he admits to this reporter. Manjhi is not alone in having pushed the pollution question to the background. This is something that the whole town has done.
People complain liberally about pollution, mostly in relation to traffic, but have never considered it an issue pressing enough to warrant mention in the election arena.
Anand Srivastava, environmental campaigner for Nav Pahchan Welfare Society says why: "While campaigning over the years, we figured pollution is not an election issue primarily because of Gaya's geographical condition. Gaya is a drought-prone area. The drought directly affects agriculture. People want that fixed first."
Explanation:
Answer:
In Gaya, world’s fourth most polluted city, political and administrative apathy keeps environmental degradation from becoming an election issue as successive municipal corporations take no note of people's deteriorating health due to the worsening air quality.
