Himalayas — the highest mountain system of the Earth, which is located between the Tibetan Plateau and the Indo-Gangetic Plain. For the first time in 30 years, the air in India has become so clean that the inhabitants of one of its states were able to see the Himalayan mountain range at a distance of more than 100 km.
This phenomenon became possible due to a sharp reduction in the number of vehicles, the shutdown of industrial enterprises and the cancellation of air travel due to coronavirus,
transmits CNN.
The phenomenon so impressed the locals that they began to massively share photos of the mountain range on the network.
According to the Department of Environmental Pollution in India, in New Delhi on the first day of quarantine, pollution levels decreased by 44%.
