Swapnil Srivastava, head of Kidbee, a global children’s fashion brand based on bamboo plants, shared a photo of the hazy airport taken from his plane window on his Instagram account and expressed his dismay at the worsening pollution levels.
The founder says the air quality is ‘unbearable’
Sharing the photo, Srivastava wrote, “Just arrived in Delhi. Headaches, a burning sensation in the throat, and burning eyes have started. It’s unbearable. When China declared a health emergency, the AQI was around 300 to 400. Thailand did so at 250. France took action in 200. And here in India, despite the AQI reaching 500 to 1000+, our government remains silent. Our tax money is used to fund their luxurious lives, while we are suffocating. Shameful!”
