Can We Make Pollution Control a Mandatory Subject in Schools?

We have no place to report the burning of rubbish and leaves that takes place all over Delhi, writes in a reader.

People across Delhi still burn rubbish and leaves, and we have nowhere to report this offence. If a centralised mobile/landline number or and email ID could be mandated/dedicated for this, it will become easier for us to report.

Further, pollution control teams to fine such people should be put in place. The available apps like HAWA BADLO and SWATCH DELHI do not work.

Here is a 10 point formula to reduce pollution massively:

1. Enforce very stringent ban on:

(A) Burning of leaves or rubbish
(B) Burning of wood for heating and cooking
(C) Burning of Fire Crackers

2. Ban burning of stubble all over the country, make alternative arrangements for disposal of stubble.
