Although there are still many underdeveloped countries and developing countries in Asia, with the economic development in recent years, most of the Asian region has taken on a new look. But who would have thought that Asia would contain the dirtiest capital in the world? Believe that some people have guessed, he is the capital of India – New Delhi. New Delhi has a huge population, with 25 million people living here. For many people who do not know India, the first thing that comes to mind when they mention India is its religion and oppressive caste system.
Many people are familiar with India’s sanitation problems, such as the lack of toilets in their homes, or the fact that they use their left hand to go to the toilet and eat with their right hand. But they did not know that the situation had reached an appalling level. But there is not a garbage can in the city of New Delhi. Some people can’t help but ask, there is no garbage can, then where is their garbage piled up? What about the tons of garbage produced in the city every day? It turned out that not far from downtown New Delhi, there was a huge garbage dump.
Garbage that nobody takes care of doesn’t just disappear, it just sits here, 17 stories high! In New Delhi’s hot weather, garbage can easily deteriorate and ferment, resulting in a stench that can be smelled for miles around, and residents living nearby suffer. The most unbearable thing for residents is not the stench, but the perennial backlog of garbage, old and new mixed to create a lot of germs, make the residents around often sick, and there is no cure. Local people have tried to complain to the government about the huge dump, but the government has done nothing to stop it. So the residents have to endure, watching the dump get higher and bigger.
In addition to air pollution, soil and river pollution is also a headache. As we all know, the Ganga River is the Mother Ganga River in the hearts of the Indian people. People can’t eat, wear and drink without the Ganga River water. They even bathe in the Ganga River water during important religious festivals. But now the river is full of garbage and the water is black and smelly. Do not say to use such water to cook and wash vegetables, is to use such water every day to take a bath, are damaging to health. As the capital of India, New Delhi is the face of India and contributes a lot to the economy and finance. The Indian authorities’ disregard for environmental protection today is heartbreaking. Blindly destroying the environment of development, ultimately can only let the environment and the economy. Does the Indian government care nothing about the natural environment and the health of its people?
As it turns out, the Indian authorities really don’t care. Why else would you allow such a huge dump in the capital? Just seeing the pictures of New Delhi’s huge garbage dumps, it is shocking to imagine what it must be like to live nearby. The neighborhood is living in purgatory every day. New Delhi has other problems with its waste disposal, apart from haphazard dumping. Because local people also like to burn garbage randomly, the smog problem is very serious. Local people have to wear masks when they go out every day, otherwise they can’t breathe normally. When the haze enters the respiratory tract, they feel suffocated. India is home to 14 of the top 15 smoggiest cities in the world, a survey has found.
It can be seen that the whole of India, from the common people to government officials, lacks awareness of environmental protection issues. The attitude towards environmental pollution has become numb, as if they have been used to facing it every day. I hope the Indian people and government can realize this problem as soon as possible and protect the environment while developing their own economy. The most important thing is to improve people’s health habits and change the influence of old religious practices. Many Indians are religious but ashamed to build toilets, small details that reflect the attitudes of ordinary Indians towards hygiene. If everyone did not litter, or if they saw the garbage and cleaned it up voluntarily, I don’t think there would be 17 stories of garbage piled up. What do you think about such garbage pollution?
