New Delhi [India], January 24: The alarming rise in Air Quality Index (AQI) levels in Gurgaon has reached a critical stage, posing severe health risks to residents. Termed a "silent killer" by Anil Kumar, BJP leader from Gurgaon, Anil Kumar has urged the city's administration, government bodies, and residents to unite and take immediate action to combat air pollution.

"This is not just an environmental issue; it's a public health emergency. Strong policies and actionable steps are the need of the hour," said Anil Kumar, who has been actively addressing social issues for over 25 years. With experience as a former Sarpanch and holding key political positions in BJP Haryana, Anil Kumar is no stranger to grassroots challenges. His wife, Sunita Yadav, Councillor of the Municipal Corporation Gurugram since 2011 and Deputy Mayor of MCG since 2017, also plays a vital role in local governance and has supported initiatives to improve urban living conditions.

Anil Kumar proposed several actionable solutions to tackle Gurgaon's deteriorating air quality. Key measures include stricter vehicular emission controls, promoting electric and hybrid vehicles, enforcing regulations on construction dust, and encouraging rooftop and vertical gardening. He also highlighted the importance of large-scale afforestation, with a focus on planting native species that thrive in Gurgaon's environment.

Other recommendations include setting up air purifiers in public spaces, adopting waste segregation and efficient disposal practices, and improving public transport to reduce vehicular dependence. Kumar also emphasized the need for educational campaigns to raise awareness about air pollution and encourage eco-friendly practices among citizens.

The battle against air pollution demands collective efforts from all stakeholders. With strong leadership and community participation, Gurgaon has the potential to reverse the damage, restore its air quality, and safeguard the health of its current and future generations. Clean air is not a privilege but a fundamental right, and the time to act is now.
