'Most dangerous thing in life': Scindia on Delhi pollution
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia called air pollution "the most dangerous thing in life" while speaking at the Times Network India Economic Conclave 2025.
He urged for scientific, long-term fixes and said, "Whatever we have inherited, we will correct it."
Why is this a big deal?
Scindia highlighted how winter air quality spikes are a recurring issue, stressing that both citizens and governments need to step up.
He linked the fight against pollution to using India's talent and innovation, pointing out that this is a shared responsibility—not just something for officials to handle.
What's next?
Although he took a strong stand, Scindia didn't promise quick results or set any deadlines.
He clarified he's not Delhi's environment minister but called for everyone—under PM Modi's leadership—to work together on science-backed solutions for Delhi's tough pollution problem.
