Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad residents are breathing polluted air! Over the past two days, air quality across these cities has plunged, with most areas exceeding the moderate level of 100 on the air quality index. Many people are facing problems like foggy mornings, eye irritation, and breathing difficulties.
Experts blame a combination of factors for this smog-like condition. Clear skies, increased wind flow, and moisture trap pollutants in the air. Winds from southern India are also bringing in more moisture, making the situation worse. Residents are worried about their health, and open garbage burning in some areas adds to the problem.
While temperatures are expected to remain stable, there's no quick fix for the poor air quality. This highlights the need for stricter measures to control pollution in these cities, ensuring cleaner air for everyone.
