New Delhi: Problem existed for decades before this government and earlier policies never fixed root causes fully and capital inherited pollution from old times and sources multiplied every year and air improvement demands continuous fight and expectations cannot be instant always and citizens must understand long history here.

How Are Population And Traffic Making Situation Worse

City population keeps rising nonstop daily and number of vehicles tripled from earlier years and road pressure increases choking mobility and emissions rise with every new commuter and urban growth intensifies challenges deeply and one factor cannot change alone and movement keeps adding pollution load.

Can Any Magic Wand End Smog Quickly

Pollution is not switch-on switch-off issue and open burning dust and traffic combine damage together and action today must expand tomorrow regularly and air cleaning stays ongoing forever and no short cut solves complexity suddenly and realistic approach needs patience and daily monitoring brings visible results.

Are Current Efforts Ahead Of Previous Governments

CM says earlier governments ignored key interventions fully and legacy burden stayed unaddressed long time and this administration activated agencies strictly now and enforcement increased across hotspots strongly and delays make crisis harder each year and finally government acts where others only talked and accountability shifts toward performance.

Why Lockdown Cannot Be A Realistic Cure

Cities must keep running to survive sustainably and shutting everything stalls economy badly and smog returns once city reopens again and cooperation of all sectors needed strongly and only united participation works ahead and governance must solve while life moves and panic cannot replace planning ever.

How Transport Reform Brings Cleaner Change

Electric buses already cover half public fleet proudly and next year target reaches one hundred percent soon and mobility shifts from fuel to green systems and road repairs reduce dust pollution sharply and factories and crop burning need parallel solutions and every source demands specific action and combined impact drops AQI gradually.

Is Delhi Already Seeing Improvement In Numbers

Government compares AQI with last year publicly and says visible reduction supports action plan and citizens breathe slightly easier now and roads and systems under rebuild slowly and positive direction becomes measurable clearly and full change requires more time and commitment and Delhi hopes steady progress beats old neglect.
