Tedhe Samachaar ki Seedhi Baat

- Delhi ki sadkon par kuch log Santa Claus dress pehen ke nazar aaye — par sirf suit nahi, gas masks bhi laga rakhe the.

- Ye log ek unique protest mein shamil the, jahan unhone air pollution ke khilaf awaaz uthai.

- Santas ne banners aur placards ke saath march kiya — message clear tha: Santa in snow = cute, but Santa in smog = alarm bells.

- Social media pe ye moment tezi se viral hua, reactions mein humour aur seriousness dono mix tha.

DECEMBER AATE hi log festive mode mein aa jate hain — lights, gifts, holiday vibes — par Delhi mein is baar ek extra layer add hua: air pollution. Aur jab Santa Claus ke suits ke saath gas masks bhi dikhne lage, tab poora scene lag gaya ek weird Christmas crossover episode jaisa. Is protest ne festive cheer aur environmental concern ko ek saath serve kar diya.

Santa’s Smog March

Ye Santas sirf Santa nahi the — unke chehre pe bright red costumes ke saath gas masks bhi the, jaise koi Yuletide superhero air pollution se lad raha ho. Protestors ne banners pakde the jinpe likha tha “Clean Air for All” aur “Smog Free Xmas.” Log gaadi se ruk kar photos lene lage, expressions mein mix of confusion, laughter aur support sab tha.

Internet Ka Verdict: Meme-Ready Moment

Jaise hi ye clips online aaye, netizens se commentary ka flood shuru ho gaya. Kuch ne likha — “Santa ne Covid mask upgrade karke pollution study join kar liya.” Kuch ne bola — “Santa ka naya job profile: Air Quality Influencer.” Kuch creative souls ne ye imagine kiya ki agar Santa real workshop se broadcast kare, toh delivery list pe AQI rating bhi honi chahiye. After all Christmas eve ko Santa bhai sleigh ride asmaan mein hi toh udaate rahte hain.

Moral of the Story: Smog Se Ladna Banta Hai

Santa costumes hasne ka reason ho sakte hain, par gas masks ek reminder hai ki air pollution koi joke nahi hai. Jab Santa bhi saans bachane ke liye mask pehne, toh hum sabko thoda serious rehte hue creative protest ko appreciate karna chahiye. Christmas wala message yeh tha: gifts important hai, par clean air priceless hai.
