Diwali 2021 | Pollution: Kolkata is not pollution free after Kali Puja and Diwali Diwali 2021
#Kolkata: Environmentalists say air pollution levels are much lower this year in Kali Puja 2021 and Diwali 2021. At the same time, the report of the Pollution Control Board says that although the level of pollution was high in some parts of the northern suburbs on Diwali, it did not last long. However, Howrah has beaten Calcutta in the fight against pollution. According to the State Environmental Pollution Control Board, the problem has increased because some people have violated the rules. However, even though the pollution is much less than in 2019, Kolkata is not completely pollution free.
In particular, the report on Rabindranath Tagore’s BT Road Chattar is similar to that of Delhi’s Anand Bihar. In both cases the level of pollution averages around 8 out of 500 The report card says that air pollution in Kali Pujo and Diwali is much controlled in Kolkata this year. However, many levels of pollution are more in Howrah. Complaints to state pollution control boards have been much lower this year. The State Pollution Control Board has received 44 complaints. Sabuj Mancha has received 6 complaints. Last year, 140 complaints were lodged with the state pollution control board. There were 114 complaints on the green stage.
