Harsh Goenka points out Gurgaon cremation ground air is less polluted than rest of the city, Delhi

RPG Group chairperson Harsh Goenka has pointed out that the air quality levels of a cremation ground in Gurgaon were much better than that of the city and even Delhi.

"If you are in Gurgaon/Delhi area and you want to be where the pollution (AQI level) is low, I have a suggestion where to go," he wrote on X with a screenshot a real-time pollution level list of Gurgaon's locations in which areas like DLF phase 1 and 2 had a "hazardous" AQI of 584 and 563, while that of the cremation ground was moderate at 95.

Goenka's observation amused X users.

"Sir, I'm replying from there only. It’s fresh out here. I thought the smoke from cremation would be toxic but It’s refreshing. Yours faithfully, recently-cremated body due to pollution-related illness," commented Sarcastic Dinesh (@SarcasticDinesh). Another user Vivek (@vivekdwivedi07) wrote, "Good strategy, jana toh wahi hai [that's where we'll end up] finally toh advance planning will help."

"Could we divert some pollution towards cremation ground to spread pollution evenly? Why should dead have all the fun?" a third user Potassium Cyanide (@zippynathan1974) added.
