#SmogKills: How Is Delhi NCR Coping With Its 3rd Day of Bad Smog?

As the air quality in Delhi reaches hazardous levels, we reached out to people to ask how are they coping

Delhi-NCR has been seeing hazardously bad pollution levels for the past few days, but Tuesday, 7 November, is when the national capital first woke up to a shockingly heavy cover of smog.

The pollution rose to dangerous levels, with 18 out of 21 active pollution monitoring stations recording "severe" air quality. On the morning of the third day since severe smog blanketed the city and its adjoining places, we reached out to people on the ground to see how they were coping.

The rapid fall in air quality and visibility began late on 6 November, as moisture combined with pollutants shrouded the city in a thick haze. The air quality has only deteriorated since.
