Desperate times call for desperate measures and Delhi is pretty desperate to catch its breath. As the city reels under the impact of the smoke layer and governments yet to put any plan into action to counter the situation, even after a week, ¡®Environment Baba¡¯ will be making an appearance in the Capital to perform a special "yagya" to appease the pantheon of Hindu gods and bring an end to the pollution.?

Environment Baba spoke to the media at Rishikesh to explain how the yagya will help. According to him, a careful selection of medicinal herbs from the Himalayan region of the country can help become the perfect counter to the toxic pollution in Delhi. And the yagya, of course, will?serve to keep the gods happy.?
"Through the 'Yagya', the 'Parmatma' gets his fill and keeps the environment clean. It keeps all the 33 crores gods happy. Other countries have also shown faith in this old practice: Japan had a 'Yagya' to control earthquake. It can also treat ailments like chikungunya. It has been proven scientifically that "jadi-bootis" sourced from the Himalayas can kill pollutants," he told News18.

Whatever works!
