Delhi's Toxic Haze: Battling Pollution and Political Turmoil
New Delhi, India's capital, has once again been enveloped in a thick layer of toxic haze, making it the world's most polluted city. The air quality index (AQI) reached the "severe" category, prompting the closure of some schools. The hazardous air quality is attributed to a combination of lower temperatures, a lack of wind, and crop stubble burning in neighboring farm states. Residents are experiencing respiratory issues, and there is a high demand for air purifiers. The pollution is expected to persist for the next few weeks.
