Srinagar- Over twenty days after a top Pulmonologist flagged concern over air pollution and attributed around 10 thousands deaths every year in Jammu and Kashmir to it, the Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Committee (JKPCC) on Monday said that the air quality in Kashmir has remained “satisfactory”. Talking to Kashmir Observer, Rafi Ahmad Bhat, Regional Director, JKPCC said that values coming from the continuous Ambient Air Quality Index (AQI) monitoring stations in Srinagar are “good to satisfactory” from the past few months, even in the winter. An official from the JKPCC said that the air quality in Kashmir during winters remains 120-150 while the permissible limit is 80-100.
