    at least pollution board is showing its power during this festival time. but we could not heard their actions other days. so many rivers/waters polluted but there is no action. board should take action against daily pollution.

    Bill passed against cow slaughter coz its an issue of faith
    Bill passed against performing namaz at roads coz it block the trafic
    Bill passed against instant TT coz it is against the will of women.
    Bill passed for introducing NRC in the name of national security .
    Now it's time to pass one more bill to introduce in the interest of the nation in such a way like "Kill the snake as well as save the stick."

    In God's eyes there are only two religions one is Good, another one is evil.

    Love, joy, peace, self-control, patience, gentleness, kindness, humility, godliness, holiness, charity, justice, cleanliness... comes from God.

    Lust, pride, anger, envy, hatred, jealousy, selfishness, greed, gluttony, addictions, attachments, injustice, sloth... comes from evil

    Also,

    Faith, hope, trust and unity for Good... comes from God.

    Fear, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, lack of trust, disunity... comes from evil.

    One need to self check their thoughts and correct oneself.

    Really glad to see pollution board coming out right on this.
    With population density increasing by the day, we cannot solve our waste problem anymore like the time tested past methods like "dumping into neighbor's compound".
    And with more plastics, chemicals and other non-natural exposure to our products, practices such has this, needs to be regulated.
    It is time to go to the past. Make idols made of mud, use flowers etc., to decorate.
