Sitting in his chair at a cricket ground in West Delhi’s Shakurpur, 73-year-old Shrawan Kumar watches around 50 school-going boys and girls rotate through their drills. The stern but good-humoured coach seems unbothered by the haze settling over the ground.
The nearest government monitoring station shows an Air Quality Index of 302 – categorised as “very poor.” But Kumar says that he has seen this before.
