Pandey said he did not know how to bring up his concern, so he suggested that they should stay because Diwali was coming.

He wrote, "If even we struggle with the pollution sometimes, I can only imagine how difficult it can be for elderly people who already have breathing issues like asthma or COPD."

He said winter pollution can affect them and that he does not want to take a chance with his parents.

Pandey said this made him think that staying somewhere with cleaner air during the worst months may not only be about comfort, but also about their health and well-being.
