For the last two weeks, Delhi-NCR has been covered with a layer of toxic smog. The air quality index (AQI) in the capital city and surrounding areas has ranged between 300 and 800, categorised as ‘severe’ and ‘hazardous’, for several days now.

As a result, some citizens in Delhi-NCR are facing health issues such as breathlessness, burning in the eyes, cough and congestion.
