Budget 2026: Air Pollution And Health Of Citizens Not A Priority For The Government? | 5ive LIVE

Union Budget 2026–27 has reduced the allocation for pollution abatement to Rs 1,091 crore, down from Rs 1,300 crore in the previous year’s revised estimates. This move comes as major cities continue to struggle with toxic smog and an increasing number of extreme climate events, leaving clean-air initiatives with fewer resources at a critical moment. The reduction signals a step back in budgetary support for immediate pollution control measures, raising questions about the prioritisation of environmental health in government policy.
