Unfair Burden
India’s worsening air pollution crisis has long been a public health emergency, but the proposal by insurers to hike health premiums in New Delhi due to pollution-related illnesses threatens to turn it into an economic crisis as well.
The Delhi Metro on Thursday facilitated a Metro ride for the 100 tribal community members representing every state and Union Territory (UT).
They traveled from INA to Patel Chowk Metro station on the Yellow Line route to get a firsthand experience of the world-class Metro system followed by a visit to the Metro Museum situated at Patel Chowk station itself.
