Delhi Turns into a Death City-Pollution Claims 25 Lives a Day, Capital Suffocates!

Air pollution in Delhi has reached alarming levels, posing a serious threat to public health. With air quality deteriorating sharply, breathing has become increasingly difficult for residents. According to recent reports, an average of 25 people are dying every day in the capital due to pollution-related illnesses. During winter, the Air Quality Index (AQI) frequently touches ‘hazardous’ levels, pushing the city deeper into a public health crisis.

High concentrations of PM2.5 particles are penetrating the lungs, leading to respiratory failure, asthma, heart ailments, and other life-threatening conditions. Dense smog has enveloped the city over the past few days, severely affecting children and the elderly. While authorities continue to implement pollution-control measures, experts warn that the impact on the ground remains limited. Crop residue burning in neighboring states, vehicular emissions, and construction dust are cited as the major contributors to Delhi’s worsening air quality.
