No, Trolling Priyanka Chopra for Wearing Mask Will Not Solve Delhi's Pollution Problem

News 18  

While Delhi and other parts of the country choke under the pall of severe air pollution, many on the Internet seem to have found an easy target to release their exasperation – Priyanka Chopra. Many would remember the uproar Chopra caused earlier in the year when a photo of her smoking along with Nick Jonas on a yacht went viral on social media. “Angry” netizens, many of whom may actively contribute to increasing air pollution in various ways themselves, instantly crucified Chopra for her post. Instead of engaging in borderline ‘sanskari’ harping on a photo of an actor, maybe Indians would serve their respiratory systems better by asking some real questions: Why is the ban on unregulated industrial processes and construction not strictly implemented?
