Topic Reading-Vol.1674-11/10/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
New Delhi schools closed 3 days because of smog
Which city do you think suffers from air pollution the most? Most of you may think it’s Beijing, China. But in fact, Delhi, India suffers from the most polluted air. With high temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, the level of air pollution reached the level to have to close schools for three days.
The city is known for its poor air quality but this time has gotten worse. Fireworks set off to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights during the last weekend are partly to blame.
Now, construction and demolition works are all suspended. Cars may be restricted for use on every other day depending on the license plate numbers. But these measures are all temporary and won’t solve the underlying problem.
Enjoy reading the article and comments and think if you’d like to move to Delhi for a job that doubles your income.
