Light Pollution in Indian Cities Linked to Rising Health Risks

Light Pollution in Indian Cities Linked to Rising Health Risks

Imagine the night sky is like a clock that tells our bodies when to sleep and wake up.

Too much artificial light at night (ALAN) from city lights is messing up this clock.

This can lead to health problems like gaining weight, getting diabetes, and even cancer.

Experts are worried about light pollution, especially in cities like Bengaluru and Delhi.

Even though we know it's a problem, there are not many rules to control it in India, even though some officials are aware of the issue.
