Reduced pollution across the country

KATHMANDU: SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 2021 – Air pollution has decreased in most parts of the country, including the Kathmandu Valley. In the hilly terrain of the country, including Kathmandu, high air pollution had covered the area for about a week.

Senior meteorologist Rishi Ram Sharma said that the rains have helped to reduce the deadly pollution that has accumulated in the atmosphere for many days. According to him, the development of irrigation system along with the development of air will help reduce pollution. The pollution had been floating in the lower part of the atmosphere for the past few days.
