Amid increasing pollution in metros, especially after Diwali, couples are finding fresh beginnings in Goa, where clean air and blue skies promise a healthier future for them and their childrenLast Oct, hotelier Ankit Gupta flew to Delhi from Panaji to celebrate Diwali with his parents in Maharani Bagh, an upscale residential area in South-East Delhi. Within hours, he developed a sinus infection. Ten days later, he remained on medication, struggling with respiratory problems.“Every friend of mine in Delhi is suffering from some form of respiratory illness,” Gupta said.Delhi’s Air Quality Deteriorates Sharply to ‘Red Zone’ as Diwali Fireworks Trigger Severe PollutionGupta, his wife Meenakshi Rajput (45) and 10-year-old daughter had moved to Goa in Jan 2024 after repeated bouts of respiratory problems left them scrambling for sanity, amid repeated visits to doctors’ chambers.Families that uprooted themselves from Delhi to settle in Goa — with great reluctance at first — are glad they made the shift.Delhi’s 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) on Diwali touched 345, in the ‘very poor’ category — the highest since 2021, when it had reached 382. Toxic smoke caused PM2.5 levels to soar to 675 micrograms per cubic metre at midnight, again the worst since 2021.PM2.5, or particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less, are tiny airborne particles that pose significant health risks when inhaled. Because of how small they are, they can penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular problems, including asthma, coughing, breathing difficulties, and increased risk of conditions like lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke.Mumbai, too, saw a sharp rise, with AQI levels up 9% on Diwali, compared to the night before.“Our respiratory issues were getting worse,” said Gupta. “We had chronic bouts of respiratory illness after every Diwali. Given our health concerns, we had no choice but to move. My daughter developed an adenoid infection because of respiratory illness and we had to get them surgically removed. We were asked by our doctors to go to a cleaner area. Delhi is like a gas chamber.”For Prashant Kalra and his wife, their decision to relocate was driven by concern about their daughter’s health. He put up a post on Instagram recently, explaining why — as a responsible father and a husband — he took the seemingly “reckless” decision. His post soon went viral, with many joining in and sharing their own reasons for leaving Gurugram and Delhi.“We were on a road trip in 2018, around Diwali,” Kalra said. “We were headed to a boutique hotel in Rajasthan to escape the Diwali pollution. While on that trip, our very boutiquey hotel decided to have a Diwali firework display, which prompted a coughing bout from our daughter. At that point, we decided that the north was no longer going to be home, and that a relocation was unavoidable.”In 2019, the Kalras made the journey south, seeking refuge in Goa, where the air was free from toxic smog.“Young parents like us are looking for cleaner air for our kids,” Kalra explained. “The main challenges are giving up work, the social circle, the convenience of a big city, the fear of the unknown and similar issues. But increasingly, there are parents who just don’t have a choice as their kids are getting sicker each year.”Gupta and Kalra are part of a growing tribe of Indian parents fleeing the deadly air pollution that envelops the country’s metros. These ‘pollution refugees’ have found that Goa’s palm-tinged villages and sunny climes are kinder to their lungs.On Aug 6, 2022, four-year-old Damian (name changed) lay gasping for breath at Hiranandani Hospital in Powai, an upscale suburb in Central Mumbai. His fretful parents watched their son, his face dwarfed by the oxygen mask that was helping his lungs.Midnight visits to the emergency room had become routine for Damian’s parents. This was not the first time that they had seen doctors pump steroids and medicines into the wiry frame of their boy. But it would be the last, they decided.“We realised that this was the tipping point for us,” said Damian’s father, Lionel. “Our company was going remote and there was nothing keeping us in Mumbai any more.”Musician Stefan Kaye and his wife were in the same boat. Their move away from the national capital began with the search for suitable schools for their three-year old daughter.“It got to a stage where we were checking schools to see if they had air purifiers in every room and if the children were made to exercise outdoors or indoors. There were serious ramifications for her health and we were dissatisfied with the facilities that schools had to counter the effects of pollution,” Kaye said.The Kayes could feel their eyes stinging in Delhi because of the toxins in the air. “There used to be a yellow haze, and we always had a burning sensation at the back of our throat. This can take years of your life,” said Kaye, who now lives in Goa.According to the India State Level Disease Burden Initiative study published in The Lancet, one out of every eight deaths in India is attributable to air pollution. The study says that the average life expectancy in India would have been 1.7 years higher, had the air pollution level been less than the minimal level causing health loss.The ambient air quality in Delhi dances between hazardous and very severe. A deadly cocktail of construction dust, vehicular emissions and ash from crop burning chokes the national capital region, which fumes from firecrackers only exacerbates.“We moved to Goa because the health of our daughter was a real concern. As parents, we felt that it was irresponsible to raise a child and almost negligent in a way to live in Delhi,” Kaye said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Gave A Good Dose…’: Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan From Rajasthan Border, Lauds Operation SindoorPolish FM Snubs Pak FM Ishaq Dar’s ‘Kashmir’ Rant, Issues Warning On Illegal Immigration’Had No Choice’: Hyderabad Man Duped On Pretext Of Job In Russia, Forced To Fight War In UkraineSurajbhan Singh Reveals Why He Left NDA To Join RJD And Contest From Mokama | Battle for BiharJaishankar To Represent India at ASEAN Summit As PM Modi Gives Chance To Meet Donald Trump a MissMumbai’s Arthur Road Jail Prepares Boutique-Style Cell For Fugitive Diamantaire Mehul Choksi’Drugged’ Sikh Truck Driver Behind Fiery Crash in California Reignites Illegal Immigration DebateTejashwi Yadav Named CM Face, BJP Retaliates with ‘Weak Alliance’ Remark at MahagathbandhanDGCA Plans New Rules For Power Banks On Flights After Fire Scare On IndiGo PlaneH-1B Visa Changes Explained: Indian Talent Could Gain Or Lose Depending On Policy123 Photostories THIS Prithviraj Sukumaran film took 16 years to make, flopped at the box officeEverything you should Know about pandasTop 5 retro boot trends you’ll see everywhere this fall 20257 most common signs of protein deficiency seen in men above 35Unforgettable Bollywood villains who defined evil8 must-try South Indian rice dishesHow to know if a diamond is natural or lab grown10 cutest animal smiles that will melt your heartFrom celebrating his first Diwali in his new house to holding a small pooja with GF Yogita: Inside Aaryamann Sethi’s Diwali celebrations with familyBihar Elections 2025: Stage set for Mahagathbandhan vs NDA; key fights to watch out for123Hot PicksDhanteras Gold PriceVande Bharat SleeperBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays OctoberBank Holidays OctoberTop TrendingTravis KelceCardi BAJ McCarronDiddyAaron JonesPatrick MahomesNBA Gambling ScandalStephen Curry WifeChauncey BillupsTiago Splitter

KOCHI: Kerala high court has set aside a criminal case against a Palakkad schoolteacher who caned three class 5 students for fighting, ruling that he acted within his authority to maintain classroom discipline.Justice C Pratheep Kumar, delivering the order on Oct 16, said the teacher’s actions were aimed at correcting the students and helping them grow into responsible citizens, not at causing harm. The case had been registered by Vadakkencherry police after parents complained that the teacher struck their children on the legs during class at 10am on Sept 16, 2019. The complaint was lodged four days later on Sept 20.The court said there was no explanation for the delay and no proof the children suffered injuries, indicating that only minimal force was used. It found that the teacher had “no intention to cause harm beyond what was necessary to enforce discipline” and had acted with restraint.Calling the prosecution “unfortunate”, the court said parents failed to appreciate the teacher’s intentions. It said when a child is entrusted to a teacher, there is implied consent for the teacher to exercise parental authority to correct the pupil.With that reasoning, HC quashed the criminal proceedings, affirming a teacher’s right to maintain discipline within reasonable limits.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Gave A Good Dose…’: Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan From Rajasthan Border, Lauds Operation SindoorPolish FM Snubs Pak FM Ishaq Dar’s ‘Kashmir’ Rant, Issues Warning On Illegal Immigration’Had No Choice’: Hyderabad Man Duped On Pretext Of Job In Russia, Forced To Fight War In UkraineSurajbhan Singh Reveals Why He Left NDA To Join RJD And Contest From Mokama | Battle for BiharJaishankar To Represent India at ASEAN Summit As PM Modi Gives Chance To Meet Donald Trump a MissMumbai’s Arthur Road Jail Prepares Boutique-Style Cell For Fugitive Diamantaire Mehul Choksi’Drugged’ Sikh Truck Driver Behind Fiery Crash in California Reignites Illegal Immigration DebateTejashwi Yadav Named CM Face, BJP Retaliates with ‘Weak Alliance’ Remark at MahagathbandhanDGCA Plans New Rules For Power Banks On Flights After Fire Scare On IndiGo PlaneH-1B Visa Changes Explained: Indian Talent Could Gain Or Lose Depending On Policy123 Photostories Unforgettable Bollywood villains who defined evil8 must-try South Indian rice dishesHow to know if a diamond is natural or lab grown10 cutest animal smiles that will melt your heartFrom celebrating his first Diwali in his new house to holding a small pooja with GF Yogita: Inside Aaryamann Sethi’s Diwali celebrations with familyBihar Elections 2025: Stage set for Mahagathbandhan vs NDA; key fights to watch out forThis Shah Rukh Khan co-actress from Kolhapur’s royal family is now married to a former Indian cricketerHow to survive long flights in economy without back painFrom Shehnaaz Gill-Shehbaz Badeshah to Arti Singh-Krushna Abhishek; TV’s lesser-known siblings7 dreamy honeymoon destinations in India for November 2025123Hot PicksDhanteras Gold PriceVande Bharat SleeperBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays OctoberBank Holidays OctoberTop TrendingTravis KelceCardi BAJ McCarronDiddyAaron JonesPatrick MahomesNBA Gambling ScandalStephen Curry WifeChauncey BillupsTiago Splitter
