Streets Spewing Poison
The smoke coming out of the streets of these cities seems to be suffocating their breath. Due to vehicles running on the roads every day, heaps of burning garbage and construction work, the level of pollution has increased so much that it has become difficult to breathe. Problems like burning sensation in the eyes, itching in the skin have become common.
The Shadow of Diseases
Due to pollution, the risk of asthma, bronchitis and heart related diseases has increased significantly. The number of such patients is increasing continuously in every hospital. Sometimes schools also have to be closed, so that children do not fall prey to pollution.
What are Biharis Doing?
But the people of Bihar are also not sitting quiet. Voices are being raised against pollution. People have started using public transport more and more. In some cities, programs are also being organized to promote cycling.
Government Initiatives
The Bihar government is also taking many steps to reduce pollution. Electric vehicles are being subsidized and strict laws are being made and those who spread pollution are being fined. Along with this, big campaigns are also being run to plant trees.
Our Responsibility
Keeping the cities of Bihar clean is not just the responsibility of the government, but the duty of all of us. You can also contribute to this by adopting some simple methods. Like driving less, keeping your house clean and making others aware too.
The lungs of Bihar do not need medicine, but our collective consciousness. Only then will we be able to free these cities from pollution and then return the same old Bihar, where there is greenery everywhere and the pure stream of Ganga flows.
