(1/5) While the left-wing and right-wing indulges in idiotic debates as to what made the #AirQuality in the capital go down, #DelhiChokes in what looks like another day in hell.
(2/5) The #DelhiAirEmergency has been tackled with such childish intent that the citizens are feeling more helpless than secured.
(3/5) No! Not everyone can afford to buy Air Purifiers and stay home. Not everyone knows the ill-effects of #ParticulateMatters and is slowly impending towards health-wise doom.
The #DelhiAirEmergency has brought #AirQualityIndex and #DelhiPollution infamy.

The Keeling curve has steadily crossed 450 and unprecedented urbanization increasingly looks like the future of humanity will live in cities. The sustainability of natural resources of water, air, land and energy will be critical to our survival.
In India, the nation has power, states have money and cities/villages have the problems. This mismatch must be corrected by effective interventions in honest politics, effective governments, market, academia and civil society. Problems must be met with resources and intent.
It's not just #Delhi, most of India is hit by #AirPollution crisis. Dispersion Models suggest that the plume is travelling across India (in east coast too). It's a #NationalHealthCrisis!
