US President Donald Trump cited India for its “filthy” air during the final presidential debate last week, prompting Democratic rival Joe Biden to tweet: “It’s not how you talk about friends — and it’s not how you solve global challenges like climate change.” On Monday afternoon in the capital the AQI struck 347, while for some areas like Sonia Vihar it was as high as 439, well into the hazardous zone.
