Hyderabad's Air Quality Crisis: IT Corridor Suffocates Under Rising Pollution
•Hyderabad, a hub for development and employment, faces severe air pollution, particularly in IT corridors like Kokapet, Gachibowli, and Neopolis.
•Uncontrolled construction activities, lacking basic safety measures like water sprinkling and screens, are a major contributor to dust pollution.
•Alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) in Kokapet ranges from 150 to 228, indicating 'unhealthy' levels, with PM 2.5 particles 4-6 times higher than WHO guidelines.
•The pollution is causing health issues like lung problems, burning eyes, sore throats, and breathing difficulties, especially for commuters, the elderly, and children.
•Locals demand strict action against builders and construction vehicles operating without covers, as official negligence is suspected.
