The coronavirus lockdown might have proven to be a difficult way of life for many people in the world, but it certainly has had some benefits. Not only the lockdown helps with the breaking of the chain when it comes to COVID-19, but it has also reduced pollution in the environment. With less noise, air and water pollution, it seems that the environment is thriving in its best.
A picture from Bihar surfaced on Twitter and is currently going viral on other social media platforms as well. In a surprising but delightful incident, people residing in the village of Singhwahini in Bihar spotted Mount Everest after a long stretch of many years. The picture was shared by the Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Singhwahini, Ritu Jaiswal.
Here is this stunning picture that Ritu shared on her Twitter account:
Singhwahini village is situated in Bihar's Sitamarhi district. The picture shows the snow-capped mountains of the range. The hazy picture along with the beautiful sunrise has made the picture go viral on Twitter.
A person on Twitter questioned Jaiswal and asked her how she was sure about the fact that the mountains were indeed from the Himalayan range and that it is Mount Everest. Ritu politely replied to the query and said that she is certain because her husband used to see the peak in the 80s when he was a child. Ritu, in response to another tweet, shared that the aerial distance between Singhwahini and Mount Everest is 194 kilometres.
Here are some reactions of people on the photo:
In the month of April, pictures from Jalandhar, Punjab, also became a part of viral photos on the internet. A person posted that the Himalayan peak could be seen from Jalandhar as well. As per a news source, during the first week of the coronavirus lockdown, more than 85 cities in India saw a drop in air pollution and an increase in air quality.
Previously, out of the 30 worst polluted urban areas all over the world, 21 belonged to India. This was under the data compiled by the IQAir AirVisual's 2019 World Air Quality Report. Six of the cities were in the top ten. Looking at these statistics, the drop in air pollution in a certain sign of relief in these troubled times.
