Air Situation in Delhi

Air quality in Delhi remains consistently poor. Visibility has become extremely low, and it's difficult to see even a few meters ahead due to haze and smog. People are continuously expressing their anger on social media regarding the pollution situation in Delhi. Many users jokingly commented after seeing the video, "Please send some of that air to India too."

Social Media Reactions

As the video went viral, people shared their reactions in the comments section. Some jokingly said that Japan's air is clearer than their future. Others reminded people that during the lockdown, the Himalayas were clearly visible from parts of India. This clear view was possible due to reduced pollution levels at that time.

About Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is located approximately 100-120 kilometers from Tokyo. Its height is 3,776 meters, making it the tallest mountain in Japan. On clear days, it is visible from Tokyo and surrounding areas. Azeem's video not only showcased the pristine air quality of Japan but also served as a stark reminder of the suffocating air in Indian cities.

The hope for clean air in India

The question now being raised on social media is whether Indian cities will ever experience such clear skies, or if it will remain confined to videos and pictures. The problem of pollution and smog is serious, and people are becoming increasingly aware of the need for clean air. The video has once again highlighted the importance of a clean and healthy environment among the public.
