air pollution

It appears like it has been a very happy Diwali for Delhi residents this time, despite the firecracker ban.

The contentious observation by Environment Canada and Ontario's Ministry of the Environment had raised fear of backlash among the local Hindus.

Due to the monsoon rains and delay in stubble burning activities, the air quality in Delhi was better off, unlike the previous years.

Stubble burning and the resulting high levels of air pollution have been a regular characteristic of winters in Delhi.

Air pollution in Delhi is a non-issue in both public and political discourse until the arrival of Diwali in Oct-Nov.

The PM Ujjwala Yojana entailed providing clean cooking gas to the rural and deprived households in the country.

Activists and environments have not blamed the festival of Christmas so far for deteriorating air quality in Delhi.

The Apex court wondered why the Delhi government made work-from-home for adults but children have to attend the school despite high air pollution

According to Pawan Gupta, who works at Marshall Space Flight Center in NASA, at least 22 million people were affected by smoke produced due to stubble burning on November 11 alone.

'Environmentalist' Jha said that to blame stubble burning as the major cause of air pollution in Delhi is incorrect because it happens for only 2-3 weeks. However, Jha had very vocally blamed one evening of Diwali celebrations for the pollution in Delhi.
