Pune’s air quality has reached alarming levels, and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Supriya Sule is drawing a concerning comparison, equating breathing in the city to the harmful effects of smoking several cigarettes a day. Sule’s stark message serves as an urgent call to action for the government and local authorities to address the growing air pollution problem and protect the health of Pune’s residents, particularly the vulnerable segments of the population, such as children and the elderly.
Sule recently made the move from Mumbai to Pune and has been deeply troubled by the deteriorating air quality in her new city. She took to social media, employing hashtags such as #AirPollution and #PublicHealth, to raise awareness about the pressing issue and urge swift measures to combat the escalating problem.
As air pollution levels continue to surge, both citizens and experts are looking to the authorities for solutions to mitigate the health risks associated with poor air quality. Sule’s plea underscores the immediate attention required to preserve public health in Pune.
