Dozens of Delhi residents, including children, protested near India Gate on Sunday, calling air pollution a “health emergency.” Holding banners that read “Smog se Azadi” and “Breathing is killing me,” they demanded a clean-air policy instead of political blame. Environmentalist Bhavreen Kandhari said parents joined because their children were suffering. Police later detained several protesters, calling it a “preventive measure.” Activists accused authorities of trying to silence citizens rather than solving the crisis. Delhi’s AQI touched 370 in the “very poor” range, as smog continued to choke the city for the third straight week. (PC: NDTV)
