Delhi-NCR woke up once again under a thick layer of toxic haze, its skyline obscured by a grey veil that refuses to lift. The Air Quality Index rose to 385 on Friday, in the “very poor” range. Rahul Gandhi delivered a strong criticism, warning that India’s children are literally growing up gasping for air.
On X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “Every mother I meet tells me the same thing. Her child is growing up breathing toxic air. They are exhausted, scared, and angry.”
Rahul Gandhi questioned BJP Govt for no strict action on poor air quality

Further, he also urged the government to establish a strict national action plan, arguing that India’s children deserve clean air.
