Delh Air Quality

Pollution levels in New Delhi have hit their worst this year in the past two days - earning a "severe" to "emergency" rating and indicating conditions that can spark a public health crisis. Christmas Day in the capital is also forecast to be bleak.

The real test for Arvind Kejriwal's Odd-Even anti-pollution rule began on Monday, with Delhi getting back to work after a long weekend. Today is January 4, which means that only cars with even registration numbers are allowed on the capital's roads.

The measures announced by Delhi Government to tackle rising air pollution in the national capital have evoked a positive response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled municipal corporations although they have expressed reservations over the decision to shut down some parkings for traffic obstructions.
