The measures come as India’s top court is deliberating whether New Delhi should go into a lockdown as a blanket of thick, gray smog continued to envelope the city, particularly in the mornings. The panel issued the guidelines on Tuesday night to stem the pollution and to show residents that the government was taking action to control an environmental crisis that has been plaguing the capital for years.
Earlier this month, air quality levels fell to the “severe” category in the capital and residents faced bouts of severe, multiday pollution. It prompted a stern warning last week from India’s Supreme Court, which ordered state and federal governments to take “imminent and emergency” measures to tackle what it called a crisis.
Emissions from industries with no pollution control technology, pollutants from firecrackers linked to festivals, and construction dust also sharply increase in winter months.
No problem, as long as the kids and oldies can develop herd immunity to the cold.

Mainly because of 'burning of crop residues'. Happens every single year. Still nothing is done. A real mess this nation…
The picture is a big fucking clue,ban all vehicles without catalysator. Introduce driving restrictions. And for fuck sake stop throwing garbage everywhere……in short,India clean up your act.
Stop shitting on the railroad tracks....
Capitalism certainly sucks. Remember when your liberal trained brain wants to throw rocks at poor folk...you&yours caused the ClimateCatastrophe & it is primarily your White Western nations that are the only ones able to solve it. WhatAreYouDoing?
The Air Quality Index for New Delhi at 01:24 P.S.T. is 355
It probably should...
Shouldn't be a question
I only went to Delhi once, in 2007, the pollution wasn't that bad, but I was in Shanghai China just before that trip and I had trouble breathing there, it was really noticable...... Sore throat, eyes stinging, you could actually taste it......
net zero by 2070...if you're still alive
They are currently deliberating on whether not life is worth living...
And Indias Minister at COP26 didn't think there wasn't a problem.
I think you meant 'envelop' not 'envelope'.
Mass gatherings during covid - we do not mind Bathing and drinking foam water from the Yamuna and Ganga - we do not mind Inhaling polluted air - yes, we do mind. Let us go on lockdown.
Environment conterminated and poluted.
Not too long ago, I saw a bunch of people bathing in toxic foam because they were celebrating some religious. Kids were literally playing in the toxic waters. They seem not to care.
pls forward to 45
