As toxic smog blankets Delhi, India’s Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has raised concerns over the city’s dangerously high levels of air pollution.

Gadkari highlighted the significant role of the transport sector in worsening the crisis and stressed the urgent need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

On the same day, the Air Quality Index (AQI) exceeded 400 at 27 monitoring stations across Delhi, with several areas entering the alarming “severe-plus” category.

A hazardous mix of dense fog and air pollution continues to engulf the national capital and its surrounding regions.
