Everyone is talking about vehicles and crackers. But nobody is talking about stubble burning. Just go outside of kolkata around November, every single corner you will see those farm fields are burning and creating smog. Don't you think we need to control that as well?? Delhi is facing a severe challenge due to punjab stubble burning, the same is happening with Kolkata as well. If vehicle is the main reason, then you would have seen such air quality throughout the year.
@@soumaSR Trams indeed are great, but I do feel it is impractical on a lot of routes where the road width cannot be expanded. Trams are a great option for feeder services and could do wonders in places like Newtown
Severely limiting access of cars inside cities is required. Build trams and bike lanes, have a carfree city centre with a traffic flow plan that prohibits direct access for commuting cars. The day the city decides to be firm they will have clean air. Just a change to EVs is not the answer, as they still produce particulates from tyres, along with traffic.
Perks of having the Capital where the PM and the President and the entire country's ministership seats, apart from being the landing point of all foreign delegates and expatriates. If BJP and Congress are least interested to ramp up public ground support in this state, despite the state's electorate giving them multiple opportunities and chances time and again, what are the state's people to do?
Thier are some selective lies in this video 1) at 2:50 he mentioned kolkata size about 200 sq km and added 80,000 vehicles per year. 206 sq. km is size of kolkata district, 80% of them were part of british era. total size of Kolkata (KMDA) is 1876 sq km, which added more and more vehicles. 2)Talking about disel, yes Kolkata have a huge number of disel vehicles but only private bus owners uses disel vehicles. 3) Auto ricksaws causes more pollution than disel vehicle. auto is a mid 20th century old design 3 wheeler vehicle, how much you can say is has LPG, it has those or that it causes more pollution.
If the use of English in speech appears to be sometimes inconvenient and clearly littered with so many - usually minor - grammatical errors (compare with the subtitles in English), then why not just proudly speak in Bangla (or in Bangla-English hybrid) instead and let the English subtitles provide the translation?

That kind of activity is done by lower caste people...The political parties will lose their vote bank.
Common peoples awareness is main factor also for development and sustainable city 🙏
Nostalgia should not come at yhe cost of our health. The old vehicles should be phased out, albeit gradually
Sometimes nostalgia actually helps...you know the Trams? Yet they got no modernization, no support and the system was silently killed off.
Replaced with ev versions

Oh please, go to Delhi. Kolkata is fine!
Kolkata needs a lot more investment in this which the government is not doing.
Kotha theke taka pabe dada investment er jonno?
I didn’t hear a single action to reduce pollution but wind will save it
At least the NCR region is prosperous economy wise...

Lol, kolkata is not prosperous economy wise?? How much you have beeen paid by bjp??
It's not prosperous for only risk averse people. The people who have risk taking appetite are building and running businesses here.
Sitting in an AC room all the time, how will these guys know what is pollution?

Et tu Kolkata? Aar cholbe na...
Not sure what they want to measure. Just go to a walk or run. Hopelessly waiting to crate noise but no action
