Schools in India's capital are shut Thursday and Friday after a thick gray haze of noxious air enveloped the city for the third consecutive day, and angry residents blamed authorities for allowing an annual children's run.

Buildings and monuments were largely obscured by smog and an official health advisory asked people to avoid all physical activity outdoors.

Residents took to the social media and blamed authorities for allowing the run after pictures surfaced of children without protective masks. Caught in the middle of the controversy, Kanth said the organization had permission from the authorities and he was not directed to cancel the event. Air pollution in northern India, including New Delhi, peaks due to smoke from agricultural fires in neighbouring Haryana and Punjab states, which mixes with the city's vehicle emissions and construction dust.

China and India are the biggest polluters, yet they have zero intention to act since they are benefited from the economic boom causing this crisis. As long as they don’t care, whatever we do is in vain.
