Byrnihat's Rising Pollution Levels Due to Industrialization

Byrnihat is a small town in Meghalaya, India, that has become very polluted because of many factories.

These factories make things like cement, steel, and ethanol, but they also release harmful pollutants into the air.

The town is important for the economy because it brings jobs and money, but the pollution is making people sick.

Experts say the factories need better pollution controls, and the burning of waste and biomass also makes the air worse.

During winter, the pollution gets trapped and makes the air quality even worse.

People in Byrnihat are worried about their health and want something to be done about the pollution.
