Poison mixed in Delhi’s air again, haze and smog snatched away the sun, IMD rang alarm bells.

News India Live, Digital Desk: If you live in Delhi-NCR and came out of the house this morning, you must have felt a slight burning sensation in your eyes and sore throat. The weather in the country’s capital has again become ‘deadly’. Along with the harsh cold, there is now a double whammy of pollution and smog. The situation has become so bad that even in broad daylight, a blanket of fog has covered everything. This is not fog, it is ‘white poison’! What we think of as winter fog is actually ‘smog’ i.e. fog and smoke mixed. In view of the situation, the Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a ‘Yellow Alert’ for Delhi. In simple words, it means “Be careful, the situation may get worse.” Visibility has become so low that it is difficult to see a vehicle 100 meters away on the road in the morning. Not only vehicles, it has also had a direct impact on air travel and trains. Many flights are late and trains are running at a snail’s pace. Does breathing mean smoking 20 cigarettes? The most frightening thing is the air quality (AQI). In many areas of Delhi, especially Anand Vihar, Bawana and Mundka, the AQI meter has crossed or crossed 400. Doctors call it a situation like ‘medical emergency’. This air is no less than poison for the elderly and children. People say that even inside the house, the purifiers are now showing red light. Watery eyes and feeling of heaviness in breathing have now become common. What to do now? (A little caution) Until the situation improves, we will have to protect ourselves: Morning walk stopped: Postpone the morning walk for a few days, because at that time the air is heaviest and poisonous. Wear a mask: If it is necessary to go out, then definitely use N95 mask. A handkerchief or an ordinary cloth will not be able to stop this fine pollution (PM 2.5). Drive slowly: Fog is dense on the roads, so keep the fog lights of your vehicle on and keep the speed low.
