Cityspidey interacted with former scientist Gauhar Raza about the need for scientific temper. He said, “When science enters in between the mass of people it becomes scientific temper. It is a part of our daily life to life. Scientific temper helps us in making decisions. Not in India, scientific tempers need to reach the whole world. We witness devotees taking the holy dip in the Yamuna, despite it being heavily polluted. We have to understand that it is not good for us. Government should have to take a backup option for the devotees.”
