LUCKNOW: Former additional chief secretary, U.P. government, Anita Bhatnagar Jain on Sunday raised awareness among the kids about the ill effects of poor air quality.
She was speaking at an interactive session "Gajju Chalne Laga" during the concluding day of the two-day "Metaphor Lucknow LitFest" in the state capital.
On the occasion, she narrated a story "Bahut Kuch Kiya Ja Sakta Hai, Kuch Karoge Kya?" written by her and encouraged children to lend their hands in tackling environmental problems.
"Is the air we are breathing worth inhaling? We have been thinking about the air quality index (AQI), according to which we have one of the most polluted capital cities in the world," Jain added.
"However, breathing fresh air is our right which comes with several responsibilities such as eradicating pollution by pooling vehicles, using solar energy as much as possible and doing other such things," she said.
