‘Clean Air Is a Basic Right’: Twitter Reacts as Smog Engulfs Delhi

Netizens react after Delhi’s pollution levels entered the “severe” category of the AQI.

Days after Diwali celebrations, there seems to be no respite from Delhi's air quality as the pollution levels in the region entered the "severe plus" category on Friday, 1 November.

On the same day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and expressed concerns over the matter saying, "Delhi has turned into a gas chamber due to smoke from crop burning in neighbouring states."

It is very imp that we protect ourselves from this toxic air. Through pvt & govt schools, we have started distributing 50 lakh masks today
