"I am a college student and I have to leave for my college early in the morning. I feel difficulty in breathing because of this rising pollution. Firecrackers have been banned in Delhi but we still saw so many firecrackers being burst yesterday. This means that the government is doing nothing to control this pollution. The government needs to step up," said a local resident.
