The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi had reached the “emergency” zone today at 10 in the morning recording an overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of 625 in the National Capital which recorded the highest this year.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had to come out explaining his stand through an emotional post on Facebook.

As people are advised to stay indoors, a demand to go on a strike by citizen of Delhi
has emerged.

Prinyanka Gandhi Vadra wrote on her Facebook page sharing a video ‘As a citizen of Delhi and as a mother, I fully support this call to action by my fellow citizens’.

Rajdeep Sardesai, veteran journalist tweeted a valid question.

As pollution levels worsen in capital , shouldn’t @PMOIndia call emergency meeting of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab CMs? Isn’t that what co-operative federalism and being leader of the country demands? Let’s not play politics with our lungs! @ArvindKejriwal @capt_amarinder @mlkhattar

Earliar on 2nd November Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal wrote to Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar asking for urgent action on stubble burning in Punjab & Haryana.

He stated in his letter that air pollution is not a Delhi specific issue, it’s a North India issue. It requires a North India solution, which can be found in your chairmanship.

Hope we wake up from our slumber…
