A toxic smog has been hanging over Delhi and NCR for over four weeks now with the last three being really tough on the residents.

The Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government has been in power for almost eight years and, according to 72% of Delhi-NCR residents surveyed, it is responsible for their ill health due to pollution. Similarly, 32% people also held the central government responsible for showing a lack of leadership and interest in coordinating measures to tackle pollution problems and working with the Delhi and Punjab governments. Delhi was adjudged the most polluted city in the entire world, followed by Kolkata, West Bengal, by US-based Health Effects Institute in its report ‘Air Quality and Health in Cities’, released in August.
