Delhi Residents Protest Persistent Pollution, Demand Action
Many people in Delhi are really upset about the super dirty air in their city.
They gathered to show the government that they're tired of breathing in all the pollution.
They want the government to do something about it because it's making them sick and hard to live there.
Some people even said the government is not doing enough to fix the problem.
Hundreds of Delhi residents, including students, protested at Jantar Mantar against severe air pollution.
The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) has been consistently 'very poor' post-Diwali, with some areas reporting 'severe' pollution.
Protesters wore respiratory masks and held placards demanding immediate action from the government.
Residents reported health issues and impacts on daily life due to the poor air quality.
