Highlighted Comments

A BIG SHAME FOR DELHI'S BJP LED GOVERNMENT. C.M. Rekha Gupta Govt. has failed to provide fresh & clean air to Delhities.

Only a person with respiratory problems (like me) can understand the severity of this problem.

The citizens of Delhi have more or less accepted the fate of bad AQI. Last year and the year before the government was criticised... Nothing meaningful was done before, and it seems unlikely now too.

Sadly, we, as the public, have accepted that this is our life, and nothing can be done now to fix it.

lol yeah, dump rain on Delhi but the real fix? ditch the parking spots, use public transit. no point in fancy tech if we keep breathing diesel.
