Our demands
All industrial facilities must reduce PM2.5 emissions to WHO-recommended levels within 90 days. No extensions, no grandfather clauses. Non-compliance triggers automatic plant shutdown.
A network of 200 independently operated air quality sensors must be deployed across every residential district within 6 months, with real-time public data on an open API. No government-controlled sensors.
Retroactive fines for the 214 documented violations since 2020, calculated at the maximum statutory rate. Revenue goes directly to a public health fund for affected communities.
A public parliamentary hearing on industrial air pollution, open to affected community representatives, within 30 days of this petition reaching 75,000 signatures.
