Increasing pollution in the Indian capital is raising concerns among residents, especially when the city of more than 20 million is struggling in the face of coronavirus pandemic.

New Delhi residents complained of breathing difficulties as they stepped outside for cycling and exercising in the hazy morning of Monday, October 26.

“The pollution is becoming hazardous,” said New Delhi resident Mukul Diwan.

As winds drop after the monsoon and cooler weather sets in, a host of pollutants hang in the air over New Delhi. The problem is exacerbated by the burning of stubble in fields across northern India’s farm belt.

Dust and smoke fill Delhi’s air every winter, making breathing difficult for adults and children alike. Government data reviewed by Reuters shows that air quality this October has been worse than in the same month in 2019 and 2018.
