Bhopal's Air Quality Unchanged Despite ₹195 Crore Spending
Bhopal News: ₹195 Crore Spent In 6 Years, Yet City’s Air Quality Stuck At Same Levels · freepressjournal.in

The city of Bhopal in India has spent a lot of money, ₹195 crore, over the past six years to clean up its air.

But the air quality hasn't improved much.

The government is now going to set up a special team to check why the money wasn't used well.

The city got money to fix roads, clean streets, and put in special fountains that clean the air.

But none of this work has started yet.

Other cities like Indore did much better and got top marks for clean air.

Bhopal is still polluted, and the government wants to make sure the city uses the money properly to fix the problem.
