History always repeats itself. It taught us on several occasions that we have to choose between necessity and comfort. The alarming and hazardous rise of air pollution brought us on verge of that flash point.
Air pollution is hitting us hard as it act as a active component of health issues.
According to a report of Global burden of Disease (GBD), outdoor air pollution was the fifth largest killer in India. It causes nearly 1 lakh premature deaths in India.
Nearly 30 million people suffer from Asthma in India.
These are some very basic facts which every one knows about.
The city of Delhi has faced the worst situation. Last year it stood 1st in 1600 cities in level of air pollution. In layman terms, breathing in Delhi for a day is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes a day.
City of Delhi is well connected via public transport. So it will only bring small hiccups in the journey rather than havoc. The government has planned an increase in number of buses for this trial period.
Metro will run more frequently during this period.
We have to keep in mind that we are not doing it for ourselves, we are doing for upcoming generation. Every parent always assures the safety of its child. Now is our turn to fight the battle against pollution.
If, god forbid, the scheme fails, we have to look for other solutions. We should not start mocking the initiative.Thomas Edison didn't got a working bulb in first 2000 attempts. Even revolution of 1857 failed but it had worked as inspiration for the next generation and put India on track of freedom.
It is a now or never situation. Lets put our differences aside and do everything possible to curb the pollution before it reaches point of no return.
In Odd Even Formula,citizens of Delhi are given a choice between comfortability and necessity.
Lets talk hypothetically(though it is very real), if you are given a choice between your children's health or your comfortability. What will you choose?

very good point. Everyone should think about safety not comfortability because comfort is worth less if your life is in danger. So we should cooperate with govt. for odd even formula.
