US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, reflected on Delhi’s worsening air quality, drawing a parallel to his childhood in Los Angeles when the city grappled with severe pollution. He shared his memories of Los Angeles having some of the most polluted air in the United States, akin to the current conditions in Delhi. Garcetti recounted the familiar experience of receiving warnings from teachers not to venture outdoors due to poor air quality, a scenario his own daughter faced as he dropped her off at school on November 2. His remarks underscored the shared challenge of air pollution in different parts of the world.
