Overall, the air of Delhi-NCR has again become a problem for the people today. Experts say that on such days, it is very important to wear a mask while going out of the house, avoid morning walks and drink more water. This air pollution is becoming more serious not only because of the weather but also because of the ever-increasing number of vehicles, construction work and dust.
