Nothing! One side busy to add weapons for the conquer of the world. Other side busy in corruption to add their trade and bank balance.

All of Pakistan and most of North Western India will suffer due to diseases. The rich will leave the countries. Nothing more will happen.

Varun Pruthi, the 'actor', is doing a good job.

To Reduce Smog

Plant more Trees
Use Hybrid Cars
Aware people to use Mass transit Systems
Introduce Electric cars
Lessen Vehicular Smoke Contribution
Avoid Products with VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
Conserve energy - at home, at work, everywhere.
Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home or office equipment.
Go For Green Energy (Start Local production of Solar Panels so many people can buy it and become Affordable)

As per NASA and the recent satellite image captured below, Indian farmers burning leftover straw from harvests are the primary cause behind the current high levels of #smog across #Pakistan and #India

NASA Captures Image Of This Age Old Practice That's Being Blamed For Delhi's Dangerous Smog

As Delhi NCR residents physically struggle with thick smog that the president's doctor has called a "death sentence" for children and the elderly, it appears that indiscriminate crop burning by farmers in the neighbouring states of Haryana and Punjab may be adding to the pollution woes in the region.


This NASA map shows the extent of unregulated agriculture crop fires whose smoke may be blowing towards Delhi NCR from the surrounding states

The New York Times reported that farmers traditionally resort to burning straw left over from harvests -- an expected 32 million tonnes -- as they can't afford to buy expensive new equipment offered by the government as alternative ways to clear the land for fresh sowing season. One rice farmer told NYT the most-widely available brand of seeders that doesn't require crop burning can cost about $1,900 (Rs 1.27 lakh), which is too expensive.


And although the government has offered to bear half of the cost of these equipment, they are still a big financial burden for most farmers. The National Green Tribunal has also previously asked the government to ask farmers to stop burning crop but the practice continues unchecked with no strict action, noted the report.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) noted the air quality index in Delhi NCR had reached an average of 432, or the "severe" category with the reading at 445 on Monday and 389 on Tuesday following the festival of Diwali, which is usually accompanied by the burning of firecrackers that add to the pollution.

The severe smog led to reduced visibility causing a 20-Vehicle pileup on a highway near Delhi on Thursday morning. NCR residents are also complaining about a burning sensation in the eyes, along with worsening respiratory conditions.

Meanwhile, a petition to ban firecrackers has also gone viral after air pollution levels rose to hazardous levels in the last few days.

The Delhi government is looking at interim steps to curb the pollution such as the use of mist fountains and air purifiers. Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday said the Delhi government will launch an app so people can share their grievances on pollution, along with asking the Public Works Department (PWD) to check the rising menace of dust particles, which has made the situation worse.

But clearly more urgent and drastic steps from the other states outside Delhi are also needed.

The only and long lasting solution to these issues is encouraging afforestation and discouraging deforestation. This is an aspect which will start yielding result the minute a sapling is planted. All other solutions require time, resources and lots of deliberations but problem is we are already running out of time.
