Prompt: only one car for a household? The ownership of car should be restricted to one per family in order to reduce traffic congestion and pollution To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The problem of traffic congestion and pollution has been increasing at an alarm rate since last few years all over the world. Thus, many experts come up with the solution that every family should be allowed to have only one vehicle. While, Some people consider that having many vehicles represents their high status. In reality, more vehicle will increase environmental health hazards on human beings. Ċ On the one hand, Due to current progressive industrial development and increased per capita income. Firstly, people consider using other available mode of public transport like bus, train, rickshaw is time consuming and some time not considered to be the safe. Secondly, travelling in public transport is treated as sign of a lower class in the society. In contrary, having more than one vehicle for a family is considered as wealthy status. In addition, ease of getting vehicle-loan through banks help them to become owner of vehicle and can be easily payable in coming month. Ċ on the other hand, some people argue that, Increasing number of vehicles on the road increases air pollution, sound pollution, In addition, to overcome the traffic congestion, robust infrastructure development and broader roads are to be prepared by cutting down the trees which further allows to increase the harmful gases in the environment and these gases are considered as eminent in human organ damage, For Example, Recent study carried out by Environmental Tribunal in New Delhi India elaborate that reduction in number of trees in recent years to develop road infrastructure has increased 30% of Carbon-Di-Oxide, increasing 20% of human deaths due to lung failure in last six months, Ċ From what has been discussed above, I tend to strongly support government initiative to have single ownership of vehicle in each family to save human being from environmental health hazards.
