CAAD_Coalition@caadcoalition.bsky.social · 2mo agoIndian air is being poisoned by coal, traffic, construction & burning waste, but the biggest barrier to fixing it is deep, long‑running political denial. @drilledmedia.bsky.social explores how denial has weakened India’s air quality standards and left millions breathing toxic air.

Rishika Pardikar@rishpardikar.bsky.social · 3mo agoEXCLUSIVE: Indian politicians have denied the severity of the air pollution crisis for decades.
