‘We are dying here’

A protestor at India Gate said, “AQI is at its peak in Delhi. We are being evacuated from here and are not being allowed to protest peacefully. Common people are dying. Still the government is not making any policy and is hiding the figures. We are dying here and the entire workforce is deployed in Bihar.”

‘We need a permanent solution’

He further said, “They (the government) are spraying water on data centres. Even cloud seeding has not worked. This is not a solution. We want a permanent solution. Even the public is fast asleep. Many people are here to watch the show, but they are not raising their voices in the protests.”
