Delhi Pollution After Diwali

Delhi pollution and when the entire city is in ICU: The kid has a solution

Delhi air pollution: Air quality in Delhi and the adjoining NCR cities was recorded in the 'severe' category with calm wind speed exacerbating the effect of stubble burning. Government agencies and experts said a "quick recovery" is not possible unless the number of farm fires reduces drastically. The National Green Tribunal on Monday imposed a total ban on sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in the National Capital Region (NCR) from November 9 midnight to November 30 midnight, saying, "Celebration by crackers is for happiness and not to celebrate deaths and diseases." The video explains the prevailing situation in Delhi.
