Delhi easily beat Beijing’s worst air pollution events on the night of Diwali and it seemed that the slew of awareness measures taken by the government and pledges taken by the public failed to do any good. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee reported that air quality in places like RK Puram was 42 times worse than what can be called safe. The massive amount of air and sound pollution caused by burning of crackers leave millions choked every year.
