Delhi residents protest against air pollution | BBC News India

Hundreds of people in Delhi took to the streets on Sunday to protest against pollution as air quality continues to worsen in India's capital and surrounding areas.

People of all ages, including children, held banners and shouted slogans, demanding that the government take action to curb pollution, which is touching severe levels.

Around 80 people were briefly detained by the police, who said the protesters did not have permission to gather near India Gate, a landmark in the city.

The BBC's Umang Poddar and Antariksh Jain spoke to some of the protesters.
