The air quality in New Delhi has worsened significantly, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) exceeding 400, classifying it as 'severe.'
In response to the dangerous pollution levels, the government has implemented measures such as hybrid classes for schools and work-from-home orders for 50% of employees.

Local residents have expressed frustration over the ongoing pollution crisis. Bhagat Singh, a New Delhi resident, described the pollution as an “incurable disease” that plagues the city every year. He emphasized that the problem was not a new one, stating that the same issues had been recurring for years and there seemed to be no solution in sight.
Manish Adhikari, another resident, noted that pollution levels increase significantly during the winter season, making it difficult for people to cope with the toxic air. He suggested that cycling could be a part of the solution, urging residents to adopt the practice for both environmental and health benefits.
