Thick fog plunges fields and tower blocks in India into darkness
A thick fog has plunged areas of northern India into darkness as schools close to protect students from air pollution.
Videos show buildings and trees engulfed in a brown smog blocking out sunlight on the Delhi-Ghaziabad border yesterday (18/11).
Authorities in the capital have shut all schools and colleges indefinitely amid the worsening levels of toxic smog.
Construction work has also been banned until November 21 but an exception has been made for transport and defence-related projects.
The toxic haze arrived shortly amidst the festival of Diwali on November 4 where fireworks were let off across the country.
Delhi is the worst polluted capital city in the world as a result of vehicular and industrial emissions, dust, farmers burning crop stubble and low wind speed.
The videos were taken on November 18 2021.
