New Delhi is grappling with hazardous levels of smog, prompting the closure of schools and discussions on measures to combat the severe air pollution. Farm fires in North Indian states have been declining, and Mumbai is closing gold and silver melting units to address air pollution ahead of Diwali. India's top court is set to rule on further action to prevent the capital city's air quality from deteriorating. Efforts include inducing rain and cloud seeding to improve air quality. In Pakistan, Lahore is also affected by thick smog, leading to school and market closures and tens of thousands falling ill.
