India-Environment-Pollution

An Indian cyclist rides along a street as smog envelops a monument in New Delhi on October 31, 2016, the day after the Diwali festival.
New Delhi was shrouded in a thick blanket of toxic smog a day after millions of Indians lit firecrackers to mark the Diwali festival, causing the air pollution to hit " severe" level. The pollutants breached the 1000 microgram mark in the Indian capital and shot up nearly 10 times above the normal level in the early hours of Monday, mostly owing to bursting of millions of firecrackers, according to a weather scientist.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the harsh reality of pollution in India. Against a backdrop of smog, an Indian cyclist bravely navigates through the polluted streets of New Delhi. Taken on October 31,2016, just after the Diwali festival, this image highlights the devastating consequences of firecracker celebrations on air quality. New Delhi is notorious for its high levels of pollution, but this particular day saw it reach unprecedented severity. The pollutants breached the alarming 1000 microgram mark and soared nearly ten times above normal levels due to millions of firecrackers being set off during Diwali festivities. The photographer skillfully portrays the cyclist as a lone figure battling against not only physical obstacles but also invisible toxins that threaten his health and well-being. The orange color cast adds an eerie atmosphere to the scene, emphasizing how pollution has enveloped every aspect of life in India's capital city. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that urgent action needs to be taken to address environmental issues and protect public health. It stands as evidence that even amidst chaos and danger, individuals continue their daily routines with resilience and determination. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember our responsibility towards creating cleaner environments for future generations.
