At the time of writing this we are witnessing the devastating effects of Oxygen shortage as the COVID pandemic has affected millions of people, and many are struggling to get enough of air to breathe.
Many of your loved ones also may have been affected by this catastrophe.
The number of cases from across the world, and especially India, are stagerring.
As this goes on, talks at the higest level are going on between India and the US to improve the Oxygen situation.
So one would naturally think that while we are talking about boosting Oxygen supplies, what are we doing to save the Oxygen already present in our atmosphere?
Shockingly, in Borivali and Dahisar in North Mumbai, we are witnessing the opposite. Illegal slums in the CRZ-1 protected mangroves have not only destroyed the Oxygen producing wetlands, but are also burning all sorts of stuff and using up this precious commodity that the entire country is gasping for.
Such shocking criminal activities are using up whatever Oxygen is already present in Mumbai, which is witnessing unprecedented Oxygen shortages in Hospitals all across.
Dont the authorities dont care a damn on what is happening at the ground level?
This burning and using up of the precious Oxygen is happening literally within walking distance of a COVID ICU setup at the RTO in Kanderpada, North Mumbai. And not only that, they are releasing toxic pollutants right into the atmosphere
What is to be done?
Arrest the culprits who are burning and using up precious Oxygen and releasing toxic pollutants into the atmosphere.
Remove all illegal constructions on these precious wetlands mangroves
Restore the wetlands and allow them to be biodiversity zones that will cleanse our environment and provide habitation to all the species that need protection.
God save the country, we pray.
