UB smog: Parents delivered their demand to the Government

2016/12/26

Parents rallied today at the Sukhbaatar square against the Ulaanbaatar smog.

Marchers protest for their children, claiming to enjoy their rights provided by the Constitution and demanded from the UB city administration and authorities to announce the state of emergency

They have also delivered their request to hold the next cabinet meeting (December 28, 2016) in Bayankhoshuu area.

The Union called Mother against the smog calls the public to march on December 26 of 2016 at the Sukhbaatar square “For how long we can cry out accepting the smog.” The statement issued by the Union said “Have we marched at least once since the smog kills our lives for last 15 years”

The poisonous smog gets worse and children get sick minimum 2-4 times a year and seems it is a usual thing to have injections to battle the smog. Miscarriage had increased 4 times in winter time and how many mothers silently wiping their tears because they lose their unborn babies.

Is there a family in UB which haven’t faced these problems? Perhaps we’ve been too patient which allows the politicians to take advantage and put money into their pockets.
