Hello Pranav, this is your mentor Hannah.
Sorry for the late comment.
I like your article with small topics!
Green War rooms shows how Delhi Government tries to combat air pollution, beside technical programs. It would be great if the room gets bigger with more experts and devleoped programs as time goes.
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :)

Hello Pranav, this is your mentor Joon.

I have heard that India is also facing hard time dealing with severe air pollution. I have once
heard Taj Mahal is now on the process of recovery from colorings caused by air pollution.
Though people often ignore its significance, air pollution is a serious issue. Researches done
by WHO shows Air Pollution is expected to reduce average life span of people near the area.
Governments should take this issue seriously and carefully, and I believe government of New Delhi is now conscious about its seriousness. Hope more progression is made, and it would be best if it could be reduced.

Well read your article,

Best,

Joon
