New image from NASA shows stubble burning as Delhi air quality deteriorates to 'very poor'

A new image released by US space agency NASA shows stubble burning in neighbouring states of Delhi, which has contributed to the rising levels of air pollution in the national capital. Delhi-NCR is struggling under severe air pollution even as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urged the Punjab and Haryana government to control crop burning by farmers in the two states. Other than the crop burning, Diwali celebrations in the national capital have also caused much pollution in the National Central Region (NCR).
