People in Northern India are in awe at the sight of the famous Himalayan mountain range, which is now visible from more than 100 miles away. This could be due to the reduced air pollution from the country’s COVID-19 lockdown.

People living in the city of Jalandhar, a city in Punjab, and its surrounding areas have posted pictures online of the views from their homes.

Some wrote that they have never seen the peaks of the Himalayas for decades.

This was the view from our rooftop at home in Punjab India. For the first time in almost 30 years could clearly see the Himalayas due to India’s lockdown clearing air pollution. Just amazing! 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/WmWZYQ68lC

What nature really is and how we screwed it up.

This is Dhauladhar mountain range of Himachal, visible after 30 yrs, from Jalandhar (Punjab) after pollution drops to its lowest level. This is approx. 200 km away straight. #Lockdown21 #MotherNature #Global healing. pic.twitter.com/cvZqbWd6MR
