Fumes have choked the Indian capital of New Delhi over recent weeks. China used its authoritarian might to drive a clean-up of sorts. The South Asian democracy, however, faces a knottier problem, writes ugalani:

“Delhi has turned into a gas chamber due to smoke from crop burning in neighbouring states”, Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, tweeted on Nov.1, sparking a debate on the causes of pollution in India’s capital territory.

Pollution levels in Delhi hit 344 on the U.S. Air Quality Index on the evening of Nov. 12, as logged by IQAir AirVisual. It reached 1604 in the Vivek Vihar area of Delhi on Nov. 3. Levels above 300 are considered hazardous.
