While Delhi recently started recovering from the smog that has enveloped the city for long, it seems it’s Mumbai’s turn to battle polluted air now.
Mumbaikars woke up today to dense fog surrounding the city and greatly impacting visibility. It was noted that the Air Quality Index was recorded at 305, falling under the unhealthy category, as reported by the US Consulate Mumbai.

People were displeased to say the least, and many took to social media to express their concerns.
