Delhi pollution: Smog rises over skyline in drone footage

A drone has captured footage of a thick blanket of smog rising over Delhi in India on Wednesday.

Air pollution in Delhi has risen to alarming levels. On Tuesday, the air quality index for the Indian capital hit 300 on 7 November, nearly reaching the hazardous levels of 301-500.

Authorities there have halted some construction, closed primary schools and will impose restrictions on the use of vehicles from next week to combat pollution.
