Having said that, i think that this toxic smog is caused to a large extent by crop burning in neighbouring states. And that smoke is what aggregates the situation. It is a normal phenomenon which generally takes place in the month of november. But that said, i think that when it comes to overall, nationwide, mass consciousness about the environment, i think india still has some way to go.
