Delhi continues to reel under noxious haze after a brief relief last week. Delhi-NCR residents seem to have no respite from the increasing air pollution even as Friday is the last day for the Odd-Even rule in the national capital. People continue to struggle for fresh air for the third successive day (Thursday) of thick smog and deteriorating Delhi's air quality. Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party government is still uncertain regarding the extension of the Odd-Even road rationing system in Delhi, even as a public health emergency is being declared in the capital.
The condition has so much worsened in Delhi and adjoining areas that several children wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorting him to take appropriate steps to improve the air quality and ensure clean air for them.
Meanwhile, Friday is not expected to be any better as the weather forecasters have predicted a similar situation owing to the impact of a western disturbance which is the primary cause of the dense cloud cover and a drop in wind speed.
