Delhi's air quality index (AQI) reached a hazardous 493, leading to drastic measures like school closures and limited capacity for businesses, as pollution soars high.
Environment Minister Gopal Rai has announced plans for artificial rain to combat the city's notorious winter smog, but federal delays in approvals are hindering immediate action.
Experts note that Delhi's toxic smog is exacerbated by seasonal factors, with October's pollutant levels leading up to hazardous levels by mid-November, affecting millions.
As Delhi's smog continues to pose serious health risks, authorities are considering emergency measures, though skepticism remains among scientists regarding the efficacy of artificial precipitation.
