Beijing choked under a thick layer of
toxic smog once again. The Capital of China issued second red alert and
it also started some immediate response plan into action. As per the
important notice from the Government, it ordered all factories to stay
closed and it asked to pull off all vehicles.
The
red alert has caused some panic. The news was posted on Beijing
Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau's website today. At the same
time, Social media never failed to keep its hopes down. Jokes went on
social media.
A Twitter user posted,
"I'm loving this traffic! Finally we can get around the second ring-road
without getting stuck in a jam." Most users started to use the term
"airpocalypse". Officials said that the concentration of toxic
micro-particles had not yet reached higher levels so far.
Few
weeks back a count of 2.5PM was found. The main reason behind this was
said to be the burning of coal for electricity and heating. This is
common during Winter season and now this became the key reason for Smog.
