As toxic smog blanketed New Delhi, officials took drastic measures including halting construction and shutting schools to combat the escalating pollution crisis.
This annual winter pollution problem is exacerbated by crop burning practices, where farmers set fire to leftover straw, combined with cold temperatures that trap smoke.
