Delhi Pollution: CEO shows concern about school students and elderly 'not' wearing mask amid 500+ AQI
The air quality in New Delhi and the surrounding NCR is deteriorating, leading to an increase in severe breathing disorders such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This issue has motivated many people to vent their frustrations on social media. Among them is Aloke Bajpai, CEO and co-founder of ixigo, who chastised others for not wearing masks and avoiding conversations about this protective equipment, saying, "Ab to hamein immunity hai ji (Now we are immune)."
Delhi-based CEO concerned about no usage of masks?
¡°At 500+ AQI, my kids seemed like the only ones wearing masks to school, and a parent asked me - everything OK with your son? Well, everything is not OK with the air these kids are breathing. And then I notice 50+ elderly people in my society on their morning walk. Why is there no public health awareness campaign around this yet? All you need to do is talk to some lung doctors to understand the looming health crisis. One middle aged uncle shrugs it off saying ¡®Ab to hamein immunity hai ji¡¯,¡± Bajpai wrote.
How did people on the internet react?
While many people agreed with Bajpai, several suggested that he relocate to a region with better air quality. Here's what people wrote in the comments.?
