Every year, residents brace for the health impacts of the worsening air crisis.

01:10I am travelling

01:12almost 16km from my house

01:14just to be here

01:16at India Gate.

01:18This is the only place in Delhi

01:20where vehicular pollution is less

01:22This 3km stretch

01:24is without any cars, any vehicles coming in.

01:28And otherwise, our entire Delhi is claustrophobic.

01:32You cannot bear it.

01:33Currently, since I am a COPD patient,

01:36that is chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder,

01:39so I have this genetic problem from my parents, my grandparents.

01:45So Delhi has become a very difficult place for me to breathe.

01:50So every month, I have to travel either to Chandigarh or to Nashik.

01:54In 2022, I remember it was really severe.

01:58The AQI was really high.

02:00But yeah, I mean, I'm seeing some measures,

02:03like air purifiers in our area also.

02:06There are some air purifiers in our area that government has put up.

02:10So yeah, I'm seeing some measures, but still it is a problem here

02:14as compared to other cities, like I've been to Bangalore and Mumbai.

02:17So their air quality is much better.
