Since Diwali, Delhiites haven’t seen the sun. The national capital is polluted and the situation is getting tensed. The city is shrouded by a haze of dust and smoke. On Friday morning the Air Quality Index was up to the highest at 459 — The highest of this season.
Pollution control body declares a public health emergency in Delhi-NCR.
The construction activity is banned until November 5th. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has blamed the neighboring states for the pollution in the city. Isn’t the time to come together and look out for the immediate solution.?
खट्टर और कैप्टन सरकारें अपने किसानों को पराली जलाने पर मजबूर कर रहीं हैं जिसकी वजह से दिल्ली में भारी प्रदूषण है
कल पंजाब और हरियाणा भवन पर लोगों ने प्रदर्शन कर वहां की सरकारों के प्रति अपना रोष प्रकट किया। https://t.co/p4MfgVND4C

A slight improvement is only expected by Sunday when winds are expected to pick up. The localities and the people all around the country remain concerned. As the city’s situation is getting harmful.
5th morning in a row without sun. Entire city was lit up just 5 days ago & since then we are struggling under a thick greyish cloud. No air circulation. Eyes burn. Breathing is difficult. Can’t even go out for a walk.Sick!#DelhiPollution #DelhiChokes #DelhiSmog #DelhiAirQuality

Clean air is a basic right.
Chile, Bolivia, Lebanon, Hong Kong are all protesting for their rights.
Why are people in #Delhi and rest of India tolerating their families being poisoned year after year?
Have Indians accepted living in gas chambers?#DelhiAirQuality#DelhiSmog
