Delhi air pollution: Young protesters demand action at India Gate

India Nov 23, 2025

On Sunday, a big group—mostly young people—gathered at India Gate to protest Delhi's seriously bad air quality.
With the city's AQI hitting 391 ('very poor'), they called for urgent government action.
This comes right after another protest earlier this month, highlighting ongoing public concern about unhealthy air.

What's being done (and the politics around it)

Officials have now ramped up anti-pollution measures in Delhi and nearby areas, even bringing in stricter rules earlier than usual—like limiting office work.
But political parties are pointing fingers, blaming each other for not fixing the problem.
Meanwhile, places like Noida and Ghaziabad are struggling too, with their AQI levels even worse than Delhi's.
