‘North India pushed to medical emergency’


New Delhi State Chief Atishi Marlena said northern India was being pushed to a medical emergency after pollution readings in the capital city and other suburban areas hit their highest levels of the season on Monday, November 18.


Visibility dropped to 100 meters in the capital with Swiss group IQAir recording New Delhi's air quality at 1081, falling under the 'hazardous' category.


Farm fires this season have contributed as much as 40 per cent of Delhi's pollution, SAFAR, a weather forecasting agency under the Ministry of Earth Sciences said. New Delhi residents have been complaining of symptoms including shortness of breath and muscular cramps induced by pollution-related illnesses.
