'Come Together For Environment': Group Of 14 Cycle From Mumbai to Dehradun

A group of 14 people led by Dr Anil Joshi, 67, a Padma Bhushan awardee, is riding bicycles from Mumbai to Dehradun. The group has three women and 11 men. They have been cycling for a month now. The group said they want to raise awareness about the environment, adding people need to come together for the environment instead of only blaming the government. Dr. Joshi says that as he travelled across states, he could feel the air quality deteriorating as he got closed to the UP and the capital. He says one day everybody will have to go back to cycles if the environment deteriorates at this rate.

    हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार  जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
