83% Informative
Eight of the 10 most polluted cities in the world last year were located in the Indo-Gangetic plains.
The region is home to 540.7 million people across Bihar , Chandigarh , Delhi , Haryana , Punjab, Uttar Pradesh , and West Bengal .
Pollution at current levels could reduce the life expectancy of people here by 5.4 years .
In 2019 , India launched the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP ) with an aim to reduce particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5, tiny particles that can enter the lungs and cause diseases) levels by 20-30% by 2026 as compared to 2017 levels.
Experts say stronger action and better coordination between local and state governments are needed.
