Pakistan's emissions add to Delhi's toxic smog, says India Today

India Today has highlighted that air pollutants originating in Pakistan are contributing to the severe smog that blankets Delhi. The report points to cross‑border emissions as an additional factor compounding the capital’s chronic air‑quality crisis. Experts cited by the outlet note that wind patterns can carry fine particulate matter and gases from agricultural burning and industrial activity across the border into the National Capital Region. This transboundary pollution adds to local sources such as vehicular exhaust and construction dust, pushing the Air Quality Index into hazardous ranges. Authorities in both countries are urged to coordinate mitigation measures to protect public health and reduce the frequency of unbreathable conditions in Delhi.
