Mumbai Haze

The poisonous haze blanketing Delhi thickened on Wednesday, with the air quality standing close to the "severe" category amid unfavourable meteorological conditions.

New Delhi was wrapped in a thick layer of toxic haze as air quality continued to remain in the "severe category". The Indian capital, along with Kolkata and Mumbai, is among the world's most polluted cities today.

A thick blanket of toxic haze enveloped Delhi for the second consecutive day as the air quality deteriorated to the "severe plus" category today, prompting the AAP-led Delhi government to shut primary schools for two days.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi on Saturday morning was 699, which is considered way above hazardous.

The haze that has engulfed Mumbai for the past 72 hours continues this morning as residents in the city complained of burning eyes and breathing difficulties as they go about their day. The blurred skyline of the city is a result of plunging air quality and surging levels of pollutants in the air.

The city's air, usually much better than national capital Delhi, is expected to decline sharply on Diwali night when it is likely to fall to from 'moderate' category to "poor".

Most of us can't wait to get back indoors after braving the haze of soot and smoke hanging over Mumbai every day, but no one bears the brunt of this city's imploding pollution crisis more than the traffic police who are forced to spend hours doing their duty right in the middle of all the dust and din from the city's roads.

In line with icy cold conditions prevailing all over north India, Mumbai experienced some early morning winter haze that enveloped the city.
