Shashi Tharoor on Delhi Pollution: Expressing anger over the increasing air pollution in Delhi, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has made a post on X, in which he has shown the list of some countries of the world, in which Delhi is the most polluted city. He wrote that Delhi is officially the most polluted city in the world. The air quality here is 4 times dangerous and the city is almost five times more polluted than the second most polluted city, Dhaka. It is wrong that our government has been watching this for years and does nothing about it.

Shashi Tharoor further wrote that I have run an air quality roundtable for experts and stakeholders, including MPs, since 2015, but left it last year because nothing changed and no one cared.
