Karnataka Plans Meeting to Address Bengaluru's Rising Air Pollution Levels

Karnataka Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre announced plans to convene a meeting with Bengaluru MLAs and senior officials to address rising air pollution and prevent the city from becoming like Delhi. The government monitors air quality at multiple locations and will issue notices to local bodies if the Air Quality Index exceeds 100, requiring corrective action within a set timeframe. Legal measures may follow if issues persist. Concerns include dust from roads causing respiratory problems, especially among children, with calls for cross-party cooperation and increased green cover.
