Officials in the Indian capital shut down schools, halted construction
activity and closed a coal-fired power plant temporarily as alarm bells
were sounded about the deadly haze of air pollution that has shrouded
the city this past week. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced
Sunday schools will be shut for three days, all construction halted for
five days and a power plant will be closed for ten days. He said roads
will be doused with water to settle dust that is a huge contributor to
the city’s toxic air.
