A Bengaluru resident has taken to X to offer a tongue-in-cheek solution to Delhi's persistent air quality problems, suggesting that its residents consider relocating to the southern city. With Bengaluru boasting relatively pristine air quality, as evidenced by its Air Quality Index levels, the user also pointed out that clean air is a fundamental human right. ''Clean air is a Fundamental human right. But in Delhi, you have to pay for the clean air too with an additional 18% GST. It's time to learn Kannada and permanently settle in Bengaluru where AQI ranges 60-80,'' the tweet read.

Delhi and its surrounding areas remained blanketed in thick smog on Tuesday morning, as the air quality index (AQI), which measures pollutants, spiked to 500 in some parts. According to the Central Pollution of Control Board (CPCB) data, most of the monitoring stations in the national capital recorded an AQI of 500, placing the city in the hazardous 'severe plus' category. Several trains and flights have been delayed or cancelled as the visibility plunged due to the toxic smog in India's capital. At least 22 trains were delayed on Tuesday morning.
