LUCKNOW (The Thursday Times) — Uttar Pradesh ke wazir-e-aala Yogi Adityanath ne Diwali par aatish bazi ka difa karte hue us ke baad phailne wali smog se mutaliq khadshaat ko mustarad kar diya aur kaha ke aaloodgi “khatam bhi ho jaye gi”.
Budh ko Lucknow mein ek sarkari taqreeb se khitab karte hue, jahan naye bharti hone wale clerkon ko taqarruri namay diye gaye, unhon ne kaha ke un ki hukoomat ne tehwar par koi pabandi na lagane ka faisla kiya tha, aur woh khud bhi “Ayodhya mein aatish bazi ke beech” maujood thay.
Unhon ne kaha, “Jinhon ne apni bad-unwan harkaton se poore nizam ko aalooda kar diya, unhein koi kuch nahin kehta. Lekin agar awam ek din patakhe jalayein to aaloodgi ho jati hai! Agar aaloodgi hui hai to khatam bhi ho jaye gi.” Unhon ne mazeed kaha, “Achha hai ke logon ne dhoom dharake se Diwali manai aur patakhe jalaye.”
Shumali Bharat mein smog
Un ka yeh bayan aise waqt aaya jab shumali Bharat tehwar ke baad smog ki lapait mein tha. Central Pollution Control Board ke mutabiq Delhi mein Diwali ke din, 8 November, 24 ghante ka ausat air quality index 376 raha jo “bohat kharab” darje mein hai aur 2021 ke baad Diwali ke din ki badtareen reading hai. Mangal tak hawa tez hone se yeh 299 par aa gaya.
Uttar Pradesh bhi mehfooz nahin raha. Diwali ke agle roz Anpara mein index 355, Noida mein 332, Khurja mein 331, aur Ghaziabad mein 324 record kiya gaya, yeh sab “bohat kharab” darje mein thay. Lucknow ki reading Mangal tak 245 se kam ho kar 172 par aa gayi, jabke Peer ko Varanasi mein dhund ke baais had-e-nigah sifar ho gayi.
Delhi mein monitor pehle hi smog ke WHO ki had se kai guna barh jane par jawab de gaye thay, aur is hafte darul hukoomat mein police ne zehreeli hawa ke khilaf talaba ka march rok diya. Opposition jamaat Aam Aadmi Party ne Delhi hukoomat par sarkari readings mein “data fraud” ka ilzam lagaya hai.
