Spending one day in Delhi is like smoking 50 cigarettes, according to doctors.
Air pollution is so bad that doctors have declared a State of Emergency in the city,
warning that the current levels of air pollutants can cause severe health problems.
The thick smog not only harms people’s health but is causing limited visibility, leading to accidents and flight delays. Levels of pollution are currently 11 times greater than the World Health Organization’s safe limit.
The problem has reached such scary levels that the mayor described the city as “a gas chamber.”
