North India Suffers To Breathe - Environmental Minister Retweets Modi and Amit Shah Instead of Finding Solution to Curb Pollution
As North india grapples with an unprecedented air pollution crisis, with residents in cities like delhi and patna struggling to breathe, Environment minister Bhupender Yadav has come under fire for his apparent lack of action. social media users have pointed out his recent twitter activity, which has largely consisted of retweets of prime minister Narendra Modi and home minister amit shah, festival greetings, and election campaign posters.
This glaring absence of updates or announcements about measures to tackle pollution has sparked widespread outrage, with citizens questioning his commitment to his role as the guardian of India’s environmental health. The frustration stems from the stark disconnect between the urgency of the crisis and the minister's priorities, as reflected in his online presence.
Netizens have not held back in expressing their anger, accusing Yadav of ignoring his responsibilities as a public servant. The deteriorating air quality, marked by hazardous AQI levels, has made daily life unbearable for millions. Yet, there appears to be no visible effort from the Environment Ministry to address the issue or reassure citizens that effective measures are being implemented. Critics argue that the minister’s focus on political campaigning and celebratory posts demonstrates a lack of empathy and accountability. This sentiment has been amplified by the perceived silence from his office, with no significant initiatives, such as emergency pollution control measures or inter-state coordination, being highlighted during this critical period.
