Prince Charles visited the Indian Meteorology Department as part of his two-day visit to India.

The Indian capital's notorious air pollution hit"emergency" levels again Wednesday, coinciding with a visit by Britain's Prince Charles.

With the government facing new criticism over steps taken to counter the pollution, Narain has called for faster moves away from coal and other"dirty fuels" as energy sources, and said authorities are doing"too little too late".India's Supreme Court joined criticism of the government on Wednesday saying authorities had made"little constructive efforts" to curb pollution.

The Delhi state government has taken measures including banning construction and only allowing cars on the road depending on whether the registration is an odd or even number.
