Delhi, on Saturday, witnessed the highest pollution levels of the seasons. The smog that hung low over the city kept pollution levels extremely high, breaching the safe limit by over 17 times at several places.
An emergency cabinet meeting has also been called at the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in the afternoon to take stock of the situation.
