:00:35.:00:37.

Hello. We are the students of Gandhi Memorial public school in Delhi, and

:00:38.:01:03.

we are on a busy road to measure the air pollution. The number of

:01:04.:01:07.

particles in the air is made up of the safe limit of 25. We are young

of cars on the roads, and we need to improve public transport, better

:03:03.:03:06.

Metro service, and more buses. All people need to come together to

plant trees to ensure that all trees in the city stay alive, and we need
