Delhi's Air Quality Crisis: From 'Severe' to 'Very Poor'

New Delhi is grappling with severe air pollution, making it the world's most polluted city, with air quality levels reaching hazardous levels. The smog has led to a "medical emergency," closing schools and urging residents to stay indoors. However, many, like Deepak Rajak, must continue working despite health risks. The pollution exacerbates respiratory issues, with clinics seeing a rise in patients. While emergency measures are in place, experts argue for more sustained efforts to address the root causes of pollution, such as emissions from transportation and industry.
