Kolkatans - prepare to die young

Yes, you heard me right. For the past few days, The Telegraph has been running an awareness campaign by means of its pages to disclose how adulterated fuel (katatel) used by Kolkata autos has turned the air we breathe into sheer poison. Today, they provided the icing on the cake (somewhat!) by quoting city doctors. These doctors hold the view that young Kolkatans who are getting affected by cardiac diseases despite having no family history of these ailments have the poisonous Kolkata air to blame.

But the bigger question- is Kolkata’s transport minister reading these reports???
