The figures of the betterment in Air quality index are very impressive and it will provide a much relief to people who were severely affected by the pollution.

 This is the Nature, who works through its own method.

Betterment in the Air quality reflects a message to human that how much we have damaged the environment.

We have always exploited the natural resources to fulfil our need only. We doesn’t care about the nature, always think about the progress of industries and infrastructure development, but did not focused on the natural resources development in that prospect.

Now the present situation shows us the real face of nature with beauty and peace. In Many cities wild animals are walking in cities without any fear.

This is the time, while in the lock down period, we should analyze the things that affect the nature adversely. Try to avoid such thing again.

Government should also benchmark the present climatic condition for policy framework with sustainable development methods
