As the suffocating smog continues to blanket New Delhi, disproportionately impacting low-income and marginalized communities, activists are calling for immediate action to address the root causes of this environmental injustice. The burning of crop residue, a practice often forced upon struggling farmers by a system that prioritizes profits over sustainability, is just one piece of the complex puzzle contributing to the city's toxic air.
Corporations, with their unchecked emissions from vehicles and industries, bear a significant responsibility for the pollution crisis. Yet, they continue to evade accountability, prioritizing their bottom line over the health and well-being of the people. The construction industry, fueled by the relentless pursuit of development at the expense of environmental considerations, further exacerbates the problem.
The government's lackluster response and failure to enforce stringent regulations have allowed this issue to persist, highlighting the need for systemic change. Activists demand that those in power prioritize the lives of the most vulnerable, who bear the brunt of the pollution's devastating effects.
It is time for a paradigm shift, one that puts people and the planet before profit. The government must hold corporations accountable, invest in clean energy and sustainable practices, and support farmers in adopting eco-friendly alternatives to crop burning. Only through a concerted effort to address the intersecting issues of social inequality, corporate greed, and environmental degradation can we hope to breathe life back into New Delhi's suffocating streets.
