A Canadian citizen, disillusioned by the severe air pollution in Delhi and Bengaluru, has moved to the northeastern state of Mizoram seeking cleaner air.
A Canadian national, frustrated by the deteriorating air quality in India's capital Delhi and the tech hub Bengaluru, decided to leave the country for a healthier environment. He chose Mizoram, a northeastern state renowned for its lush hills and comparatively low levels of atmospheric pollutants. The move reflects his personal decision to avoid health risks associated with prolonged exposure to smog. He has settled in the state, hoping the cleaner climate will allow him to lead a more comfortable life away from the haze that plagues many Indian metros.
