In Photos: Zero Visibility Morning As Delhi Chokes Under Severe Smog

Delhi woke up to a dense envelope of fog and smog this morning with 400+ AQI, with zero visibility and darkness all around for most of early morning – leading to an ‘Orange Alert’ by the IMD and several cancelled flights. But life continued as usual, as children gathered to board school buses and people started their ‘day’ which looked mostly like dusk.
