Journey through haze

The pollution caused by smoke through the exhausts of old vehicles in Nepal is one of the major sources of air pollution in Nepal.

To reduce this strict monitoring should be done by the traffic police and department of transportation and in the long run prioritising electric vehicles for public transportation is the most sustainable way.

The Nepal government has banned vehicles older than 20 years on public roads but due to lack of strict monitoring very old vehicles are still running in the highways causing tons of carbon emission and polluting air.

विकास कि फोहोर ?

"सडकको छेउमै यसरी थुप्रिएको फोहोर केवल दुर्गन्धको समस्या मात्र होइन, यो वातावरण, जनस्वास्थ्य र भविष्यप्रतिको ठूलो चुनौती हो ।"

"यो कुनै पहाड होइन, फोहोरको थुप्रो हो।" सडक छेउमै यति ठूलो परिमाणमा थुपारिएको फोहोरले वातावरण मात्र होइन, स्थानीय बासिन्दाको स्वास्थ्यमा पनि प्रत्यक्ष असर पार्ने जोखिम बढाएको छ।
