On this Special Report, anchor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor highlights the stark disparity in how India’s political elite and common citizens experience Delhi’s toxic air. Data reveals that the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) procured 405 air purifiers for government offices, VVIP lounges, and judicial chambers between 2020 and 2025. Taneja notes, ‘They sit in Parliament where HEPA filters are there, they go to their houses and their cabins and their offices where air purifiers have been put by your and my taxpayers’ money.’ The report details how procurement rose steadily, peaking at 156 units in the 2024-25 financial year. While the public suffers through hazardous AQI levels, the report suggests that politicians remain indifferent because their personal environments are shielded by high-end filtration systems. The discussion, featuring reporter Piyush, underscores that despite the pollution crisis, the issue remains largely unaddressed in parliamentary sessions while officials enjoy clean air in protected spaces.
