NSUI protests Delhi's toxic air, demands immediate action from govt

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) The National Students' union of India (NSUI) on Thursday staged a protest against the deteriorating air quality in the national capital, demanding urgent government intervention to address the pollution crisis and safeguard public health.
Led by NSUI national president Vinod Jakhar, students and party activists took out a march from the organisation's headquarters on Raisina Road, raising slogans against the worsening pollution levels and the government's failure to implement effective measures to combat the crisis.
Addressing the protesters, Jakhar said the toxic air had become a serious threat to the health and everyday lives of Delhi residents, particularly children and the elderly.
"Delhi's suffocating air has put the health and daily lives of ordinary citizens in danger. Children, elderly people and millions of residents are being forced to breathe toxic air every day. Despite repeated warnings and the worsening situation, the government and responsible agencies have failed to deliver concrete solutions," he said.
Criticising the authorities for what he described as an inadequate response, Jakhar said mere announcements and assurances would not resolve the crisis, and called for immediate and effective intervention.
"Making claims on paper and issuing statements will not solve this crisis; people need immediate action," he added.
The NSUI maintained that access to clean air was a fundamental right and said citizens should not be compelled to compromise their health because of administrative failures. It called for time-bound pollution-control measures and demanded accountability from agencies entrusted with tackling air pollution in the capital.
The student organisation said it would continue its agitation until concrete steps were taken to improve air quality and ensure a healthier environment for Delhi residents.
