Delhi closes schools and colleges as pollution grows worse

As the pollution levels grow in Delhi, the Indian capital, schools and colleges are closed indefinitely. Six coal powered plants in the city have been shut down, leaving only 5 able to operate. This is because a haze has covered the city since the festival of Diwali. The fireworks from the festival made the air quality worse. The air is filled with tiny particles that can clog peoples lungs, and the concentration of it is concerning. The air quality is caused by weather, and vehicle and industrial emissions. The air is expected to get worse over the winter because of farmers burning crop remains.
