The irony is just like us all, Dr Naresh Trehan and Dr Ashok Seth are also breathing the same air. The one they are warning about to everyone. There are no easy escapes. What will the working people do ? Where will schoolchildren and elderly go ?

If you look at AQI levels across the country, many states and cities, especially in the northeast and eastern parts, which used to have AQI levels below 100, are now showing levels of about 250, close to 300.

The system was not meant that not -- we don't think there is anything that says… We are getting them out. And a judge cannot say no, you have to have a trial. The trial is going to take two years. No, we are going to have a very dangerous country if we are not allowed to do what we are entitled to do.
