In a bid to raise awareness about the growing pollution in Jharia City, Life and Youth Concept, a prominent environmental organisation, organised a unique demonstration. With the aim of spreading the message far and wide, a wheelchair rally was organised, showcasing the devastating effects of pollution on the city. The rally featured a visually striking display, with a wheelchair representing Jharia City, symbolising its vulnerability. A child, carrying an oxygen bag and wearing a mask, depicted the hazardous air quality, while other children appeared as trees and plants, emphasising the importance of a green environment. Pammu Kumari, a courageous child affected by cerebral palsy, held a sign that read, "Speak Against Pollution...Uncle! Otherwise, your children could become disabled like me." Dr. Manoj Singh, the coordinator of Green Life and Youth Concept, highlighted the alarming impact of pollution on the environment, leading to severe health issues among the residents. He emphasised that pollution is adversely affecting the unborn children, resulting in an increasing number of children with disabilities. Akhlaq Ahmad, the coordinator of Youth Concept, expressed concern that despite being aware of the consequences, the residents of Jharia City fail to realise how pollution is endangering their lives. The administration and the Jharia Rehabilitation and Development Authority were criticised for their inaction and indifference toward the plight of the residents.
