Delhi Air Quality and Pollution Control Measures

Implemented measures include dust control, increased public transport, and restrictions on certain vehicles.

Highlighted Comments
Every year I see this type of videos, funny thing is that Indian govt doesn’t take any action.
Honest question, how is there not government intervention on the crop burning. They're literally going to kill people with this pollution.
Decided to visit Delhi last year during this time. It was awful, I couldn’t breathe and felt like I was dying the whole trip.
