As winter sets in across north India, the air in Delhi becomes thick and brown with visible pollutants, reducing famous monuments to smoky blurs on the horizon.
For a decade, Delhi has regularly held the dishonourable title of being the world's most polluted city, with other Indian cities close behind, causing life expectancy to decrease significantly.
The air is killing us all, said Hartosh Singh, who expressed despair over the growing pollution levels and lamented that government growth strategies seem to prioritize development over people's lives.
Delhi's AQI reached 1,700 this week, starkly illustrating the severity of the air quality crisis, far surpassing the World Health Organization's healthy maximum index of 50.
