As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched India's first ever national air quality index to monitor pollution levels in ten cities in the country, he said that environment protection is a part of Indian culture that has been practised for a long time by our ancestors.
Speaking at the inauguration of a two-day conference of State Environment and Forest Ministers in New Delhi, Modi said, "We belong to a tradition whether nature is considered to be sacred and has a deep bond with humanity...we have been worshipping trees and plants for a very long time."
