Santanu Sen asks a Question on the impact of pollution on health

FULL TRANSCRIPT

I want to know through our learned Minister, how much concerned is our government about the following facts:

As per the data provided by Yale University’s Environmental Performance Index 2020, out of 180 countries, India ranks 168. So far as the most polluted countries are concerned, India ranks fifth in the world. Among Asian countries, India ranks third and unfortunately, out of the 10 most polluted metropolitan cities in the world, India’s share is three cities, with Delhi happening to be the most (polluted). I want to know (about) the concern of our government.

Thank you.
