The air quality in Delhi is still at a ‘hazardous’ level and it does not seem to be getting any better, any time soon.
Many people took to Twitter to raise concerns about the worsening air quality, and #DelhiBachao & #DelhiAirEmergency started trending on Twitter:
People of Delhi NCR cannot be expected to continue to work and send their children to school in these conditions. Where is the emergency response from all the government’s and agencies that are based out of the capital? #DelhiAirEmergency

I use an app that converts the air quality to an equivalent number of cigarettes. Anyone in Delhi now might as well be smoking 33 cigarettes a day. Imagine knowing your children are smoking more than a pack a day. Cos here, they are. #DelhiAirEmergency pic.twitter.com/9aumGokBo0

This isn’t even funny I literally cannot breathe. The air in my lungs barely has enough oxygen. It feels like breathing in just a mixture of gases.

I’ve got headaches and nausea all day.
I CANT FUCKING BREATHE.#DelhiAirEmergency #DelhiBachao

Neither can I. Thats the condition of #Delhi #NCR right now#DelhiBachao #DelhiSmog pic.twitter.com/1YPqfetf53
The sheer lack of government in Delhi is very, very striking. With such pollution, people would force any govt. to come to its knees, but not today, not here, not now. Wow.#pollutionkills #DelhiAirEmergency #DelhiBachao

It can only be in India where life can go as normal despite #DelhiAirEmergency . This is like subjecting millions to death. Rich and wealthy can migrate, what will the common man do? Politicians should stop the blame game and come together 2 solve it.

Delhi-NCR this morning. Can’t escape the burning smell even inside the home. No visibility. Buildings in the front have disappeared. This is collective death sentence. #DelhiAirEmergency pic.twitter.com/UzYXjRk8Dz

Is this smog or fog? Since it has rained a bit I am hoping it is fog now. Picture taken from IIT Delhi hostel. The other picture shows how the view generally is on a fine morning. #DelhiAirEmergency @ArvindKejriwal pic.twitter.com/BmvEIqMQj1

Why are our leaders blaming each other rather than working together to solve a catastrophic issue like pollution?
— Srivatsa (@srivatsayb) November 3, 2019
It’s Delhi today, soon it will be Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyd’bad etc
Urban India is in a pitiable condition. Will we ever start fixing things?#DelhiAirEmergency
Crackers are a problem.
— Pallavi (@That_Desi_Girl) November 2, 2019
Stubble burning is a problem.
Vehicular emission is a problem.
Consumption behaviour is a problem.
& if you do whataboutery then YOU are a problem. Delhi is choking & no amount of “but what about…” is going to help us #DelhiAirEmergency
Everyone lauded series #Chernobyl;if things continue the way they are,soon a series on #DelhiPollution will be coming out where we will watch on TV box how our generation got swallowed by this toxic air while the victims remained helpless & the system shameless #DelhiAirEmergency

It’s high time,when our gov should take some really strong steps to conquer this pollution.people are literally dying due to this poisonous air. Even after many attempts of gov to reduce this pollution nothing seems to be working,all mainly coz of bad implementations#DelhiBachao pic.twitter.com/zkjJMx08jl

Delhi literally appears to be the embodiment of a gas chamber, and it is high time that the government actually makes an effort to look after the very people who it is supposed to govern.
