Posted by Anonymous on 2017/10/18 under Life I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE PEOPLE IN MY BOMBAY (MUMBAI) CITY, CONSTANTLY LIGHTING SCENTED & OILY RUBBISH 24/7 & POLLUTING THE AIR. UP TO 10 YEARS AGO WE USED TO GET CLEAN COOL BREEZES FROM THE ARABIAN SEA AS BOMBAY IS AN ISLAND ON THE WEST COAST. IT IS ALREADY VERY HOT IN BOMBAY. NOW THE TEMPERATURE IS 45 DEGREES CELSIUS. IT WAS 20 TO 25 DEGREES UP TO 10 YEARS AGO. I AM GETTING CONSTANT SEVERE MIGRAINES.WE SUFFER FROM SLEEPLESSNESS,BREATHLESSNESS,THE AIR IS ALWAYS OILY & HEAVY & SMELLY. MY BODY CRAVES FOR CLEAN UNSCENTED AIR AS IT WOULD FOR PURE WATER.BUT SADLY THERE IS NONE. PEOPLE ARROGANTLY WAKE US UP RUDELY ANYTIME THEY WANT WITH THIS NONSENSE EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WE ARE TIRED ALL THE TIME & IT AFFECTS OUR ENERGY LEVELS.MY WHOLE APARTMENT IS ALWAYS FULL OF SCENT & OILY FUMES ALL THE TIME.
I AM POOR & DON’T HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONER. MY NEIGHBORS & THE WHOLE OF THE CITY ARE RUTHLESS WHEN THEY BURN HEAVY SCENTED INCENSE, SCENTED OILS, SCENT EMITTING MACHINES, SCENTED CANDLES 24/7.EVEN THE PERFUMES & DEODORANTS ARE EXTREMELY STRONG, YOU CAN SMELL THEM A MILE AWAY. MY NEIGHBORS SPRAY PERFUME ON THEMSELVES BEFORE SLEEPING. ALL THESE SMELL FILL MY APARTMENT & THE AIR OUTSIDE.IN BOMBAY WE LIVE IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL REGISTERED LETTERS TO THE HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENTS OF MY STATE BUT THEY THREW THEM OUT.I HAVE HAD 4 OPERATIONS & HAD TO FAST FOR THEM & RECOVER FROM THEM IN BED SMELLING THIS CRAP. MY NEIGHBORS ARE USING THEM AS WEAPONS TO TAKE OVER OUR APARTMENT BY HARASSING US. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN VERY KIND & COOPERATIVE WITH THEM.WE HAVE NEVER TROUBLED ANYONE IN ANYWAY. I PERSONALLY NEVER BURN CANDLES OR EVEN WEAR SCENTS OR EVEN SMELLY DEODORANTS OR USE ROOM FRESHNERS.
DURING THE FESTIVAL OF DIWALI THEY PURPOSELY LIGHT FIRE ROCKETS & CRACKERS TO FALL RIGHT INTO OUT HOUSE. ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS PLEASE INFORM ANY INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION TO PRESSURIZE INDIA TO BAN SCENTED NONSENSE & FIRE CRACKERS. I AM FRUSTRATED & HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN.
.THE WHOLE OF INDIA IS LIKE THAT BUT I CAN ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT MY CITY.SO PLEASE DON’T TELL ME TO MOVE.PEOPLE HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS & I NEED MY PURE AIR BACK AS IT IS MY HUMAN RIGHT & FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO BREATHE CLEAN AIR.
BOMBAY WAS A CENTER OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY,THE STATE SHUT THEM DOWN IN THE NAME OF SPREADING POLLUTION, THEREBY CAUSING MASS UNEMPLOYMENT. THEY HAVE BANNED SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES BUT NO BAN ON SCENTED STUFF & FIRE CRACKERS. THERE IS NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE SICK OR PATIENTS, OLD & CHILDREN.MY BROTHER IS ON CONSTANT LIFELONG MEDICATION & NEEDS HIS REST. I CAN’T SEE HIM SUFFER AS WELL.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD WHEREVER YOU CAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN ADVANCE.
