Satellite data shows a sharp decline in farm fires in the North Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, historically blamed for air pollution in New Delhi. India's top court is set to rule on further action to prevent the capital city's air quality from deteriorating. Toxic smog has sickened thousands in Lahore, prompting authorities to close schools, markets, and parks. Diesel prices climbing for Indian farmers have led to increased field clearing with fire, worsening pollution during the Diwali season. Overnight rain in New Delhi brought some relief, with authorities considering cloud seeding to improve air quality.
