Delhi faces severe air pollution after Deepavali amid political disputes over causes and control measures

Political tensions have escalated between major parties over the causes and management of pollution, focusing on festival firecrackers and stubble burning. Punjab reported over 1,100 stubble-burning cases on Diwali day, notably in Tarn Taran and Ferozepur.

Accusations have been exchanged regarding administrative efforts and incentives, while enforcement measures face difficulties in reducing pollution across northern India.
