A thick layer of smog covered India’s capital of New Delhi on November 10th. It filled the air with a sharp, bitter smell because pollution levels rose sharply. It also worsened a public health crisis. Smog has prompted residents to take to the streets to protest and demand government action. By the morning of November 10th, New Delhi’s air quality index stood at 344. According to the World Health Organization’s recommended exposure limits, that’s a level considered “severe” and dangerous to breathe.
 　On November 9th, hundreds of people gathered at New Delhi’s India Gate in a rare protest. Many wore masks and carried signs, with one reading: “I miss breathing.” Police later confiscated signs and asked protesters to leave.　 Home to more than 30 million people, New Delhi and its surrounding region routinely rank among the world’s most polluted cities.

　11 月10 日，印度首都新德里被厚重的霧霾籠罩，由於空汙指數飆升，空氣中彌漫著刺鼻難聞的氣味，也加劇了公共衛生危機。霧霾促使居民走上街頭抗議，要求政府採取行動。截至11 月10 日上午，新德里的空氣品質指數飆升到344；根據世界衛生組織建議的暴露限值，屬「嚴重」空汙等級，將導致呼吸上的危險。
　11 月9 日，數百人聚集在新德里印度門，舉行一場罕見的抗議活動。許多示威者戴著口罩、舉著標語牌，其中一塊寫著：「我想念呼吸。」警方隨後沒收標語牌，要求示威群眾離開。擁有3 千萬居民的新德里及其周邊地區，常年被列為全球汙染最嚴重城市。
