All along the landscape of rural UP, you can see smokestacks belching acrid smoke into the sky. Precious top soil is being converted into bricks at illegal kilns, well within the boundaries of NCR.
Earlier this used to happen with impunity in Haryana and Rajasthan too, although I haven't seen the smokestacks in a while. I am sure they are still there, just hidden from the main highways. These two states are all about mining away the Aravalis now.
सरकारे बदलती रहती हैं, हालात नहीं सुधरते। PM2.5 and PM10 readings are still off the charts, even though the weather is warmer.
