Delhi's New "Eco" Hot-Air Balloons Launched in Toxic Smog - Real Yamuna Revival or PR Stunt?
Delhi’s new hot air balloon ride at the Yamuna riverfront has sparked a debate on whether it’s sustainable tourism or mere greenwashing. While DDA calls it an “eco-adventure” to revive the riverfront, environmentalist Diwan Singh slams the move, calling it a distraction from Delhi’s severe air and water pollution. He warns that increased tourism threatens the floodplain ecology and labels the initiative “greenwashing,” especially during peak smog season.
