Delhi`s Air Quality Index has worsened as winter approaches, raising concerns among residents. Toxic foam is seen floating on the Yamuna River, indicating high pollution levels in the water. This rising pollution is causing serious health problems, especially for senior citizens who are particularly vulnerable. Locals are worried about how the situation will deteriorate after Diwali, when firecrackers often add to the already poor air quality. With colder temperatures trapping pollutants closer to the ground, many fear that respiratory issues and other health problems will increase. Efforts to reduce pollution, such as limiting firecracker use and improving waste management, are crucial to protect public health. As winter sets in, the community hopes for effective measures to combat the pollution crisis and improve air and water quality for everyone in the National Capital.
