Delhi's ongoing struggle with deteriorating air quality, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to social media to shed light on the grim situation and humorously critique the government's response.
Tharoor shared images of satirical signboards, which have been circulating on WhatsApp, playfully renaming well-known Delhi landmarks to reflect the city's severe air pollution. In his post, Tharoor drew attention to the city's Air Quality Index (AQI), which had surged to 462, nearly 19 times the safe limit prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO), set at 25.
“Not my own creation: this is going around @whatsApp as exasperated Delhiites choke and splutter under an AQI of 462, nearly 19 times the @who safe limit of 25.
