Break Free from Air Pollution Action in Mumbai

Greenpeace activists have pinned a huge banner to a bridge in Mumbai, demanding “Break Free from Air Pollution”. India’s air pollution, officially the worst in the world, continues to deteriorate as highlighted in a Greenpeace India report Airpocalyse II issued earlier this year.

The government of India is preparing a national action plan to deal with air pollution scandal, and a draft was obtained by Greenpeace India.

Greenpeace India has welcomed the National Action Plan as a good start, but urged the government to make the plans more transparent so that Indians can follow what action is being taken, and what impact it is having on air quality.
