The only thing consistent about Delhi in the last few weeks has been its AQI levels. It’s literally severe and is definitely not safe for kids to be out in the open.
But apparently, Children’s Day is an exemption from that situation. Because, this morning, dozens of children were all running in the street without masks, at a time when schools have been shut down to protect them.
This has obviously pissed a lot of people off.
Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world, especially during the winter season, when the streets of the city resemble that of something taken out of a dystopian film. So, the logic behind making kids run in this environment seems pretty flawed.
