The air quality in Delhi has been going from bad to worse. With pollution level on the rise, the national capital has been shrouded in a haze as people in the city increasingly complain about health issues. Children are among the worst affected by the pollution. Several schools have also begun restricting outdoor activities for students and discontinued morning assemblies as precautionary measures to deal with the issue. A multilayered system to fight air pollution was rolled out in the national capital on Thursday. However, with Diwali just around the corner, the air quality is likely to worsen.
Meanwhile, residents of the national capital are increasingly taking to Twitter to voice their concern over the pollution issue. While some are complaining about the issue, many others are using pictures to illustrate just how bad the situation is getting.
As the pollution worsens in Delhi, a ban on private vehicles is likely. The odd-even scheme may also be rolled out by the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) to control the number of vehicles in order to combat the high levels of pollution.
