Open House: What should you do to check the rising pollution in Ludhiana area? : The Indian Tribune | Rare Techy

Use straw in other ways

We should try to reuse and recycle leftover products to reduce pollution levels. We can use it in factories in different ways and can make products like baskets, bags, etc. from it. Instead of burning it, we can also make ropes from it and try to use it well for different purposes so that it does not burn.

It is a powerful command for an hour

As the remaining 80 percent of the paddy crop in Ludhiana is to be harvested soon, farmers will want to clear their fields to speed up sowing of the next crop, which is already delayed due to bad weather at this time. time This means adding to the already bad state of pollution. To avoid that, farmers must learn how to burn straw. They need to be educated about the negative effects of this practice on the environment. Tools to speed up disposal of residues should be made available to farmers.

Use the rest as animal feed

Despite seven years of minimum stubble burning, Ludhiana remains among the ten most polluted cities in Punjab as more than 80 percent of the paddy crop remains unharvested. To check the rise in pollution levels, we need to increase the use of organic products and stop the burning of fossil fuels. Use natural resources such as biofuels. The remaining food can be used for animal feed. The administration should also make people aware of the importance of trees in curbing pollution.

Install a balancing system for vehicles

Ludhiana is the industrial center of Punjab. Smoke produced as waste from industries must be treated before being released into the atmosphere. Similarly, industrial waste water must be treated before being discharged into rivers and water bodies. The alternative system based on vehicle usage, which has been used successfully in Delhi, can also be implemented in Ludhiana to curb air pollution caused by heavy traffic on the roads.

Khushkaran Singh

Label the waste before disposal

Although fewer stubble burning cases have been reported in Ludhiana district so far, the level of pollution remains alarming. Every year, the government makes many claims about ways to tackle pollution but to no avail. The government should promote the use of wheat straw, such as using it for commercial purposes, manure, etc. Chemical industries should be encouraged to supply treated water. There should be provision for heavy economic penalties for offenders. The Government should also liaise with elected representatives and NGOs in this regard.

Increase the PUSA bio-decomposer

Everyone knows the reasons and solutions for the threat of straw burning. However, there is a clear lack of political will to enforce the solutions. The Government of Punjab has developed a solution in the form of PUSA bio-decomposer but its use is not popular. It is the cheapest and most effective tool for the farmer to solve the problem as the waste materials are converted into compost.

Priyanka Tiwari

Plant trees to fight pollution

Pollution is the biggest threat facing our world and it is the need of the hour. The best and most expensive thing for this purpose is to plant many trees. Plants like aloe vera, snake plant, spider plant, areca palm etc. reduce air pollution. In addition to this, people should cut down on the use of cars and prefer public transport. All of these actions help clean the air we breathe.

Lookpreet Kaur

Increase green cover, reduce acs use

We are the responsible citizens of Ludhiana, we have many things to do, including enhancing the green cover, giving financial incentives to those who are not burning straw. People need to know that not only crackers and straws pollute the environment, but also the use of CFC lights, air conditioners and vehicle emissions are the reason why pollution levels rise over time. again.

VIDUHI JAIN

It can be used for short distances

To check and control the increase in pollution in the city, trees should be replanted in the city and green belts should be enhanced. It not only helps in reducing air pollution but also lowers the temperature and helps in reducing the effect of global warming. The relevant authorities focus on promoting electric vehicles, which are good for the environment. Adopting these measures will help reduce the range of harmful gases. Citizens should be motivated to ride bicycles for short distance travel. Doing so will benefit their health and the environment.

Configure other smart drives

Straw burning is one of the main reasons behind the sudden increase in air pollution levels in the area, and it is difficult to find evidence of concrete steps taken to reduce it. Other causes of pollution include manufacturing industries, fireworks, electricity use, dirty fuel for three-wheelers and adverse weather conditions, especially in winter. For in-situ management of paddy straw, farmers should be provided with other affordable machines like seed drills, rotavators and mulchers. Leaders should respect farmers who do not burn straw. The government should prepare a comprehensive plan that includes a massive awareness campaign, involving students and places of worship to combat straw burning. Decontamination camps are set up in villages to prevent farmers from burning crop residues. Farmers should also be restricted to driving. According to the nexus between paddy harvesting and stubble burning in the coming days, the number of fire cases will increase as the harvesting of the crop in the state continues. The House rejected the state government’s proposals to give incentives to farmers to get rid of crop residues as part of the state’s overall scheme. Therefore, it is difficult to prevent farmers from burning straw, which is the easiest and most convenient way for them to dispose of crop residues.

Strictly blocking the use of cookies is necessary

Air pollution is a global problem that needs urgent solutions. The burning of wheat straw by farmers is the main cause of such activity in the northern part of the island. To solve the problem, the government should provide money, incentives and machinery to the farmers. Bursting of crackers during Diwali is responsible for the increase in the concentration of dust and pollution in the air. Problems with the throat, nose, and eyes can occur and cause serious health problems. Therefore, a complete ban on explosives is necessary.

TAMANPREET KAUR KHANGURA

A deadly environmental ‘timebomb’

Besides burning straw, there are few other human activities that cause pollution. The indiscriminate use of fossil fuels and synthetic fertilizers is just one example. Based on a combination of known and predictable effects, toxic-chemical pollutants and carbon dioxide accumulate to become environmental ‘timebombs’. As a result, we must do our best to reduce the effects of increased pollution. For starters, we need to stop burning straw and reduce emissions from fossil fuel combustion by meeting vehicle emission standards. Second, all industries must comply with air pollution standards.

The balance will be beneficial, managed properly

Paddy burning is a challenging issue for the Aam Aadmi Party. Straw burning continues, and there are combined harvesting methods, because they are economically cheaper. Straw, if properly managed, can be of great benefit to farmers. It also helps in checking air pollution. The government’s approach to this issue is very liberal. They never work hard against the unsuspecting farmers. The entire city is engulfed in smog every year, resulting in a sudden rise in pollution levels. It’s time to get serious. Consult agricultural experts for advice.

QUESTION

Vector-borne diseases are also on the rise, especially dengue and malaria. Cases of the dreaded dengue have more than doubled in the past month, but malaria cases remain in the region. What is being done to stop the spread of these diseases?
