NSTsports: Delhi and other cities across northern India are blanketed by a poisonous haze each winter due to build-up of traffic fumes, industrial emissions and smoke from agricultural fires.

Organisers of the four-day Panasonic Open India event said the tournament could be shortened if the pollution remains serious, as completing the event would be “a big challenge.”

“The opening round of the Panasonic Open India was delayed due to poor visibility and weather conditions,” an Asian Tour organiser told AFP.The first golfers went on the course five hours late and some wore anti-pollution masks. The amount of PM2.5 – deadly tiny particles that get into the bloodstream and lungs – soared to about 20 times the safe limit set by the World Health Organisation.
