Dear MEL Topic Readers,
People in India can see the Himalayas for the
first time in 'decades,' as the lockdown eases air pollution
Jalandhar is a city in Punjab, a state in
northern India. It lies a little over 160 kilometers away from the Himalayans.
The residents of the city used to enjoy seeing faraway views of the world’s highest
mountain range when the sky was clear. However, for the last few decades, the
sky has never been clear due to air pollutions. Now, because of the nationwide
lockdown to contain coronavirus outbreak, the sky is clearer than ever before, and
therefore, young residents of the city can see the invisible mountains for the
first time. Since there aren’t so many things they can do these days, such an
unexpected gift seems to have surprised and comforted the residents, who know
quite well that the magnificent view will disappear when the lockdown is lifted
Enjoy seeing the photos and reading the
article about this surprise gift by a nationwide lockdown.
