In light of alarming air quality data, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has called for a significant overhaul of the National Clean Air Programme. A recent report from IQAir has named Loni in Uttar Pradesh as the world's most polluted city for 2025, with PM2.5 levels reaching 112.5 g/m3, over twenty times the safe limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Ramesh highlighted that this situation represents a severe public health disaster affecting millions across India. The report indicates that India is the sixth most polluted country, with cities like Byrnihat in Meghalaya, Delhi, and Ghaziabad also ranking among the most polluted globally. The findings underscore the urgent need for a focused strategy to reduce PM2.5 levels, which have seen a 23% increase from the previous year. Ramesh's remarks come as India grapples with a growing air quality crisis, necessitating immediate government action to protect public health.
