Kiran Bedi Urges PMO to Address Delhi's Pollution
Kiran Bedi, a former bureaucrat and social activist, has asked the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to take charge of Delhi's pollution problem.
She thinks that if the PMO gets involved, people will feel more hopeful and take the issue seriously.
She suggested that the Prime Minister could talk about pollution control in his 'Mann Ki Baat' radio program, which is heard by many people.
She gave an example of how people gave up their gas cylinder subsidies when asked, showing that public appeals can work.
She believes that if everyone understands their role in reducing pollution, it can make a big difference.
Kiran Bedi urged PMO to take oversight of Delhi's pollution crisis.
She suggested a public appeal through 'Mann Ki Baat' to raise awareness.
Bedi compared the pollution crisis to COVID-19 in terms of urgency.
She cited the success of a previous public appeal for gas cylinder subsidies.
The request aims to engage all sections and age groups in pollution control.
