(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.
