Many people have commented on it these days on their social networks.
With the 1.3 billion residents of India currently locked up in their homes, air pollution levels have dropped considerably, having another positive and unexpected effect on nature: the possibility of gazing at the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in parts of India. . Especially residents of the city of Jalandhar in Punjab, have noticed that pollution has decreased to such an extent that the Dhauladhar Mountains, which lie more than 100 miles away, have become visible for the first time in decades.
For many, it is the first time that they can see these mountains from their city; Let's not forget that the urban centers of India are known for their high levels of air pollution. However, the new report by India's Central Pollution Control Board has revealed a massive drop in air pollution across the country since the state of alarm went into effect on March 25. The reduction, in some places, has reached 80%.
The global spread of the coronavirus has caused a colossal drop in transportation and industry around the world, leading to cleaner air in many major cities and densely populated areas, just as it did in China and Europe.
India remains closed until further notice.
