 Dehradun, October 23
Unplanned urbanisation, environmental degradation and lack of interest shown by the government has led to the rapid deterioration of the natural beauty of Dehradun. Ever since Uttarakhand came into existence on November 9, 2000, and Dehradun became the capital, all sorts of activities in city have increased manifold and they have aggravated the pollution situation.

Not all clean on the water front
Inquiries conducted by The Tribune revealed that with the ever-increasing air pollution, city residents are falling victim to a variety of respiratory problems, particularly bronchitis and asthma. “Although there is no scientific study but the number of patients of bronchitis and asthma has increased due to increased air pollution levels in the city," said Dr S.D. Joshi, a senior lung specialist of the Government Doon Hospital.
