Delhi Pollution and was does it mean to an outside visitor

Delhi is considered one of the most green cities in India.  Visually it definitely is, there are big stretches of trees in various pockets of Delhi. The Delhi cantonment, ridge road, mandir marg, the Dhaula Kuan Central Delhi connection , chanakyapuri , consulate area. Despite all this, the pollution boards find the city to be in a mess, being one of the most polluted cities in the world, almost worse than 1600 cities that are tabled in the pollution index.

So what is the cause of this situation, the answer is simple - cars, factories and village culture. Delhi has more cars than Mumbai,Chennai, Pune, Bangalore all put together. Factories - to be a world class city one cannot have factories inside the city but Delhi has many clusters of factories operating and intact there was some nuclear material also found in a factory. One does not need to imagine the damage these chemical factories are doing to this country . The village culture is the worst, people find burning anything and everything as a pastime , every leaf, plastic, waste material in Delhi is burnt foolishly by our Delhi residents and find nothing wrong in such behaviour.

But can you feel the difference when you are visiting and travelling to various places in Delhi, one may not necessarily feel the difference but one does realise that the quality is not what one expects it to be. Yet in places like Khan market, connaught place the quality of air is still tolerable and manageable. This is because the place is covered with trees all around. And that does make a difference to the particulate matter . The dust disappears ,literally there is lesser dust in the area because of plants all around.

But when one visits Khirki extension. subash nagar, malviya nagar one can feel the difference in air quality and the dust is visible in the air. When small shops and open trailers selling variety of cooking stuff, the smell, the dust and the burnt oil is distinctly recognised by an individual.

The formula is not understood. We  as citizens will not take any steps and let the government take all the steps in this regard. The government will only take steps that do not hurt any industry or group of individuals. So what happens, the quality keeps going from bad to worse.

Infact, in case you travel from Delhi to other areas in India you will notice many ponds, water bodies full of waste and dirt that makes them inhospitable, not just to live around but also to look.

So grow some trees, breathe fresh and keep traveling to hill stations around Delhi.

Bodyguards providing security to foreign tourists in India

Denetim Services provided the finest and best trained Bodyguards / Private security guards / Personal security officers for foreigners visiting from United States of America, Switzerland and other European countries.

The Armed and unarmed security are ex-servicemen with exemplary track record and verified licenses. They are english speaking and can manage any situation faced.

For security officers provided by Denetim, safety of the client is more important than anything. We would give everything to ensure safety of our clients at all times.


The tourists traveled to Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Devgarh and also visited surrounding villages to understand village life in India. The trip included taking a train ride as well and the security officers were present throughout the trip. 

Best Bodyguards in India

We can commission security officers anywhere in India on immediate basis. We take complete guarantee for conduct and behaviour of our security officers.


The foreigners traveled everywhere and felt safe, as we took complete responsibility to ensure best safety and security for our clients.


Understanding local conditions and managing security threats is very important. We guided the whole group of potential "NO visit zones" during their walks to various areas in India.

Managing a group can be difficult as every person goes in different direction. Therefore the security officers have to be alert at all times and manage the requirement by providing more concern to solo travellers  who are walking in separate directions.


There has to be discipline and absolute authority when dealing with security anywhere in India. The importance of managing security threats for foreigners requires much more control and management to provide the best possible security.


Threat is small villages is higher as the laws and police take sometime to reach, therefore the safety of a foreigner or rather almost an alien to an Indian villager is extremely high.
We recommend at least thorough planning and security check before visiting the interiors of India.

Every Country warns their female travellers of India

Given India's rape epidemic (there's honestly no other way to term it), countries and travel organizations around the world are increasingly wary about women visiting India. A little while ago, Japan issued a warning to its female citizens interested in traveling to India, following two allegations of rape on its citizens. In one case, a Japanese tourist said a man, claiming to be a tour guide, raped her while dropping her at her guest house. In the other, a Japanese national in Bodhgaya was allegedly kidnapped, robbed and raped by 6 men from Kolkata.
After the more recent Jaipur case came to light, the Japanese Consulate in Kolkata advised tourists in India to be careful and behave cautiously.

India has had a reputation of being unsafe for women, but this largely focused on the condition of Indian women. However, there has been an increase in the cases of sexual assault against foreign nationals across the county. Take a look for yourself - a Polish woman in Delhi, a Swiss cyclist in Madhya Pradesh, an Irish charity worker in Kolkata, a German teenager on a train, a Danish woman in Delhi - the list seems endless.
These have caused countries apart from Japan, and travel organisations around the world, to follow suit and issue warnings to female tourists intending to travel to India.

A look at some of the travel advisories issued:
The UK
“Avoid travelling alone on public transport, or in taxis or auto-rickshaws, especially at night. If you have to use a taxi get them from hotel taxi ranks and use pre-paid taxis at airports. Try to avoid hailing taxis on the street. If you’re being collected at the airport by a hotel driver make sure they have properly identified themselves before you set off.”
The US
“Women should observe stringent security precautions, including avoiding use of public transport after dark without the company of known and trustworthy companions, restricting evening entertainment to well-known venues, and avoiding isolated areas when alone at any time of day. Keep your hotel room number confidential and make sure hotel room doors have chains, deadlocks, and peep holes. When possible, travel around the area with groups of friends rather than alone.”
Canada
“Women should avoid travelling alone, particularly at night, on public transportation, taxis and auto-rickshaws, as well as in less populous and unlit areas, including city streets, village lanes and beaches. Dress conservatively and respect local customs.”
Australia
“Exercise vigilance at all times of the day, avoid walking in less populous and unlit areas, including city streets, village lanes and beaches, and take care when travelling in taxis and rickshaws. Avoid travelling alone on public transportation, autos and taxis, particularly at night.”
Additionally, countries like France and other members of the European Union have also issue warnings, asking women to exercise "utmost caution. Several recent incidents show that foreign women or expatriates can be the victims of such incidents in India."

Travel blogs and experts paint a slightly prettier picture of India.

Lonely Planet
“You're very unlikely to experience violent crime as a woman traveller in India; it’s sexual harassment that you may experience – more so in tourist towns and larger cities in the north of the country. Rude comments, voyeurism, and men ‘brushing against’ or groping women are all common.”
In another blog, travel writer Candace Rardon describes her experience in India very warmly. “While travel in India will require heightened attention and common sense, let me assure you it is worth it. Although I did encounter men who stared at me inappropriately, there were countless others who in no way treated me as a sexual object – farmers and pharmacists, shopkeepers and teachers, men whose warmth, kindness, and compassion moved me in unexpected ways.”

However, no warnings or advisories have been issued in the neighbouring country of Nepal, despite there having been many case of sexual violence on Nepalese citizens in India. The two countries share a soft border, and it is virtually impossible to keep track of immigrants working without labour permits in India.
