On Diwali night, our phone apps showed AQI 3,000. The official number was 373. Why the gap? Let's understand.
• Official AQI uses 24-hour averages. Apps often use hourly readings.
• Every app follows different rules, so numbers never match.
• Many apps use low-cost sensors, which can give wrong readings.
• The official scale stops at 500, so it can't show anything higher.
Both are not wrong. They just measure in different ways. But one thing is clear: our air was very bad.

Celebrate a Green Diwali, Say No to Firecrackers! 🪔
The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) organised an awareness campaign at SD Senior Secondary School, Khandsa Road, Gurugram, to educate students about the harmful effects of firecracker pollution.
During the campaign, AEE Kamesh and JEE Raghavendra sensitised students about the adverse effects of toxic smoke, particulate matter and excessive noise on human health, the environment and wildlife.
School Principal Geetika Ahuja and the teaching staff also encouraged students to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly and responsible manner.
On the occasion, students took a pledge to celebrate a Safe, Clean and Green Diwali and motivate their families and neighbours to contribute towards a pollution-free environment.

Some kids in North India reach for an inhaler instead of sweets this Diwali.
Our grandparents cough through the night. Our pets shake in fear.
Let's light diyas, not crackers. 🪔
Let's give our air a happy Diwali too.

Clean air is our responsibility, and our transport sector plays a critical role in combating air pollution. Ensure strict compliance with CAQM guidelines in Delhi-NCR:
✅ Always carry a valid PUC.
✅ Strictly observe 10/15-year vehicle age limits.
⚠️ Alert: Vehicles below BS-VI are completely banned from entering Delhi from 1 Nov 2026 to 31 Jan 2027.
Support clean air regulations and avoid heavy penalties on the road.

Gurugram, are we tired of coughing yet?
Industries, road dust and local building sites are polluting our air daily.
Every construction site must follow these five steps:
• Put up tall boundary screens
• Spray water regularly to settle dust
• Cover all stored sand and soil
• Use tight covers on loaded transport trucks
• Dump waste only at safe, legal spots
Clean air is a shared duty. Let us hold rule-breakers accountable.

Gurugram has successfully upgraded its air from breathable to chewable. GRAP-1 is now active. Since holding our breath until spring is not a viable strategy, we must follow these five steps:
➡️Maintain a valid PUC certificate for all vehicles.
➡️Use public transit or carpool rather than driving alone.
➡️Stop burning waste and dry leaves in open areas.
➡️Cover construction materials and sprinkle water to suppress dust.
➡️Avoid firecrackers during celebrations.
Let us act responsibly before severe restrictions force us indoors.

Super El Niño is shifting heat and rain worldwide and it's going to be the biggest one in history.
🔥 Drought and fire risk: Indonesia, Australia, Central America, southern Africa
🌊 Flood risk: South America's Pacific coast, Horn of Africa
🌀 Fewer Atlantic hurricanes
2027 could be among our hottest years. Food and water stress has already begun.
Let's prepare. Share this.

Your daily cup of coffee is becoming more expensive, and the main reason is rising heat.
A recent study shows that major coffee-growing regions faced nearly two extra months of damaging heat (above 30°C) every year between 2021 and 2025 due to carbon pollution. Coffee plants are delicate. When temperatures rise beyond this limit, plants drop their flowers, beans fail to mature properly, and overall harvests decline. This hurts small farmers who depend on this single crop and pushes prices up for everyday consumers.
However, we can still reverse this trend if we take collective climate action right now:
• Adopt clean and renewable energy to cut down daily emissions.
• Support shade-grown coffee, where farmers plant native forest trees over crops to create a cooler microclimate.
• Conserve water and stop deforestation to help soils retain moisture during dry spells.
Climate change is directly touching our everyday lives, but thoughtful choices can turn things around. When we act to protect the environment, we protect our farmers, our food supply, and our morning coffee.

Our city's solid waste can cook our food. 🌱
Every day, our cities collect tonnes of waste. Most of it goes to landfills, where it rots, smells, and pollutes our air and water.
Urban local bodies, there's a better way. TERI's TEAM method turns the organic part of this waste into clean biogas.
Here's how it works:
Segregated organic waste is chopped and soaked in water for six days.
The liquid that forms goes into a second tank for 16 hours.
Microbes there remove about 90% of the pollution load and make biogas.
That biogas is 70 to 75% methane, a strong fuel for cooking and heating.
The solids left behind are sun-dried and used as manure.
TERI's plant in Gurgaon has run on this method since 2000. So it's proven, not a pilot.
Less waste in landfills. Cleaner air. Local fuel and fertiliser. That's a circular economy working at city scale.
Let's start with segregation at source and make our waste work for us. ♻️

Diesel costs us up to ₹8 per km. ⛽
An EV charged at home costs less than ₹1. ⚡
That's 8 times cheaper.
Think about how much we pay for fuel every month. Now think about the air we breathe every day.
Every ICE car puts more smoke in the air our children breathe. Every EV keeps that air cleaner.
Delhi NCR, we can change this. Let's choose electric. Save money, protect our lungs, and give our kids a city where they can breathe freely. 🌱

Plastic hurts our environment. Today, we did something about it. 🧹
We ran a cleanliness drive in Palam Vihar and gave out cloth bags to help people say no to plastic.
This wasn't just cleaning, it was about awareness. We want people to see the problem and make a change.
One drive won't fix it, but it can start a habit.
Gurugram deserves clean streets. Let's build that together, one bag at a time.
@GurugramTweets @cleanAirBharat @HspcbN , help us spread this message further.
