Good initiative by LG Sandhu. Children are the most affected by poor AQI. While meeting kids in a cafe is a positive step, the real test is implementing systemic changes. The focus on education and health in his other meetings is also crucial. Jai Hind!

Respectfully, sir, listening is one thing, acting is another. Delhi's air is a year-round crisis. We've heard "collective effort" for years. We need time-bound targets, holding agencies accountable, and moving beyond stubble blame games. Let's see the action plan.

As a parent in Delhi, this gives me some hope. When leaders engage with the youngest citizens, it sends a powerful message. The kids are aware and worried. Now we need policies that match their concern. More public transport, fewer private vehicles!

His diplomatic experience should help in coordinating between different agencies and the central government, which is key for Delhi. The meetings with the President and VP show he's building the right connections. Hope he uses that clout for clean air. 🤞

Heartwarming to see! 👏 Children today are so informed. But ideas from the public have been given for years. We need execution. Can we have a portal where these "practical ideas" are tracked for implementation? Transparency will build real trust.
