A toxic blend of smoke and fog has enveloped northern India, with New Delhi's air quality reaching a severe AQI of 484, marking the worst levels of the year.
New Delhi was reported as the most polluted city in the world, with hazardous PM2.5 levels exceeding the World Health Organization's recommended limits by over 130 times.
Farm fires significantly contribute to Delhi's pollution, with such events accounting for up to 40% of the city's air quality issues, as detected by satellites.
In response to the critical air quality, Delhi's authorities have shifted all schools to online classes and imposed strict regulations on construction activities and vehicle movement.
