5ive Live With Sonal Mehrota Kapoor: 1.7 Million Pollution Deaths in India, Govt Denial 'Political'

A Special Report details India's severe air pollution crisis, centered on the national capital where the Air Quality Index (AQI) has breached the 1000 mark. Dr. Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown, states that human-caused air pollution is linked to 1.7 million deaths in India. This contradicts government claims of having no conclusive data establishing a direct link between pollution and deaths. Health experts warn the toxic air is a 'silent killer,' causing permanent damage to children's developing organs. Despite the implementation of GRAP-4 emergency measures, reports indicate that high traffic and pollution levels persist. The program addresses the disparity between WHO air quality guidelines and India's standards, the economic toll of the crisis, and the urgent need for political will to transition from fossil fuels.
