“Government Response Missing?” — Public Questions Delhi Govt’s Action Plan
Despite the worsening situation, many citizens and experts claim that the Delhi government has not taken adequate steps to address the ongoing crisis.
While emergency measures like odd-even, water sprinkling, and construction bans are announced every winter, the ground reality shows little visible improvement.
Residents are asking tough questions:
👉 Why is Delhi’s AQI still in ‘Severe’ category despite repeated action plans?
👉 Why has no long-term winter pollution strategy been implemented yet?
👉 What is the government doing to control vehicular emissions and crop-burning smoke?
👉 Why are there no strict measures to protect homeless and vulnerable groups from freezing cold?
As temperatures continue to fall, these questions are gaining momentum, and citizens expect clear, immediate answers.

Doctors across Delhi-NCR report a sharp rise in:
- Respiratory illnesses
- Asthma attacks
- Viral infections
- Pneumonia cases

The IMD has already issued a cold wave alert, warning people to avoid early-morning and late-night travel.
Delhi-NCR Situation Turning Critical
With increasing cold, dangerous pollution, and zero visibility fog, life in Delhi-NCR has become extremely difficult.
Daily commuters, school children, and outdoor workers are facing severe challenges.
Many people are asking:
“In such extreme conditions, what are citizens supposed to do?”
This is a genuine concern—and one that requires immediate attention from authorities.
What Should Citizens Do Now?
While government action remains questionable, experts advise people to:
- Wear layered warm clothing
- Use N95 or higher-grade masks
- Avoid early-morning travel
- Install air purifiers if possible
- Keep children and elderly indoors
- Stay hydrated and maintain immunity
But the bigger question still remains…
