The residents of Delhi woke up to a thick blanket of smog this morning amid warnings by weather officials of falling air quality in the national capital two days before Diwali. The levels of the pollutant PM2.5 was at a "hazardous" 644 or over 20 times the safe limit prescribed by the WHO this morning at south Delhi's Okhla, according to data from the Delhi Pollution Control Board. PM2.5 are fine particles that can penetrate the lungs and cause respiratory diseases.

That is how NYC and Los Angeles were in the 1970s with all the pollution.  China and India are now suffering from the same problem.

India is a democratic country, so its pollution is OK.

Ya. There is heavy pollution in Delhi. The busting of crackers coupled with winter season worsens the situation.

That does for sure not look healthy!

People should avoid this kind of cities if they can why would you wanna work and live in such a bad environment? No money in the world brings back your health...the politician of this city/state should be put out of office for letting this happen!

Its really sad to see such kind of polution. I hope that the city or county will go for more environmental friendly energy sources.
