Poor quality air continued to choke people in Delhi as the Indian capital braced for worsening air pollution during the Diwali festival this week, and beyond.
Delhi was the most polluted city in the country for the second consecutive day on Monday, recording an average Air Quality Index reading of 304 according to the Central Pollution Control Board. In several places around the city, the AQI was 20 times the WHO safe limit to render the air quality "very poor".
