News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraFormer Delhi mayor Shelly Oberoi has slammed the BJP government over worsening air pollution in the capital. She says the AQI has reached dangerous levels and asks how much longer residents must keep breathing this air.
Early Monday, the ITO station logged an AQI of 406 around 4:20 am, in the 'Severe' band, while Rajiv Chowk and South Extension fell in the 'Very Poor' range. Thick smog also cut visibility in places like Inderlok.
Oberoi also voiced worry for children and the elderly, and is calling for real measures to tackle the problem.
