‘Diwali coincided with a massive jump in pollution levels in Delhi. So, on the one hand, the government announced restrictions on construction, vehicles, and the like. On the other hand, it facilitated the return of a huge mass pollutant by pushing for fireworks. There’s a definition of madness that seems well suited to today’s Delhi: doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. And that sums up the attitude of every government — whether AAP or BJP — to Delhi’s pollution problem.’- Watch this week’s #ThePrint #SharpEdge with Vir Sanghvi.
