This special report from India Gate focuses on the citizens’ protest against severe air pollution in Delhi, featuring Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan. According to Saurabh Bhardwaj, ‘today there is a trust deficit between the citizens and the government and that trust deficit has been created by the government.’ The protest, demanding the ‘right to breathe’ and transparent Air Quality Index (AQI) data, led to the detention of several demonstrators, including students and parents, by Delhi Police who stated that permission was not granted for the gathering in the high-security zone. The report also investigates the state of pollution mitigation efforts, exposing how a smog tower in Connaught Place, built for over 20 crore rupees, is currently dysfunctional. Meanwhile, with schools remaining open despite hazardous AQI levels, citizens are questioning the administration’s handling of the public health crisis.
