Delhi's worsening air pollution sparks a meme fest on Twitter
Air quality in Delhi continues to deteriorate. The city is covered with a thick layer of smog which has forced schools in the city to shut down.
Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) on Saturday (November 5) stood at 431. The city’s air pollution thus remains in the severe category for the third consecutive day.
The concentration of lung-damaging fine particles or PM2.5 was found to be above 460 micrograms per cubic metre, eight times the safe limit of 60 micrograms per cubic metre.

Amidst the worsening situation, many people have taken to Twitter to share hilarious memes on Delhi’s air pollution.
