🚨🇮🇳NEW DELHI SMOTHERED IN TOXIC SMOG POST-DIWALI
India’s capital, New Delhi, is cloaked in hazardous smog as Diwali firecracker smoke pushes air quality into the “severe” category.
SAFAR reports that dangerous particulate levels have surged to 7 times the WHO’s safe limit, despite long-standing firecracker bans.
Home to over 33 million people, New Delhi battles worsening air pollution each winter, exacerbated by crop burning, industrial emissions, and coal reliance.
