"I cannot see out of the hotel window. What have we done to this city (sic)?" wondered Demetriades.
Swara Bhasker, too, shared a witty post on Instagram about the smog and pollution in the capital. She wrote, "Raat ke dhaii bajey.. sunsaan sadak.. smog aur pradooshan sey phephadey jamm gaye hain.. saans nahi li jaa rahi.. magar.. Instagram upload chaloo hai!"
Due to the prevailing weather condition, schools are shut in Delhi till November 5 and all construction activities have been banned. The government has declared a "public health emergency" in the capital.
Every winter, New Delhi is enveloped in a poisonous blanket of smog of car fumes, industrial emissions and smoke from stubble burning at farms outside the megacity of 20 million people.
