For weeks, millions of people across northern India and Pakistan have been enveloped in extremely poor air quality due to toxic smog, primarily caused by seasonal stubble burning and industrial emissions.
The combination of rice-paddy stubble burning and suppressed vehicular emissions has led to some of the worst air quality ever recorded in the region, raising significant health concerns.
Health emergencies have been declared due to the toxic air, leading to school closures and strong advisories for residents to stay indoors to avoid exposure.
Authorities have mobilized to address the crisis by implementing measures aimed at reducing emissions and protecting public health amidst widespread concerns for well-being.
