Delhi’s AQI (Air Quality Index) has lately been quite hazardous due to stubble burning in the neighbouring states and rising air pollution because of the increasing number of vehicles. Pollution has reached an alarming level with health warnings being issued for children and senior citizens to stay indoors.
The issue has garnered widespread attention from all over, including popular Hollywood actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, who took to Instagram to spread awareness about the capital’s dire pollution levels. He mentioned the recent protest which took place at India Gate, wherein Delhiites urged the government to take immediate steps to curb pollution.
