Jonty Rhodes expressed concern over Delhi’s air

Rhodes wrote, “Today when I passed through Delhi for Ranchi, it was difficult to bear the air here. I consider myself lucky that I live in a small fishing village in South Goa.”

He further wrote, “The view of the sunset from my house is very beautiful. The children playing football in this photo are mine. In Delhi, perhaps these children would be advised to stay indoors.”

Air condition in Delhi is very bad

Delhi’s air is becoming more polluted every day. On the morning of Monday, November 10, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded beyond 400 in many areas. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI in Delhi’s Bawana area reached 412, which falls in the hazardous level category. Jonty Rhodes reacted to this situation and expressed his concern.
