Senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who was in Kerala's Wayanad for her first electoral contest, said returning to Delhi amid the toxic air pollution was "like entering a gas chamber". Ms Gandhi Vadra said this is an issue that goes beyond narrow party politics and everyone should come together for a solution to this persistent problem.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi remained in 'severe' category for the second day in a row, causing health problems for residents and low visibility issues.
