Delhi has been choking due to hazardous pollution levels. This time, the pollution levels soared 16 times higher than the prescribed limit, with major areas recording an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 999. While November began with lowered visibility because of high smog in the atmosphere, by November 5th, it looked like the pollution had settled.
