National Capital Region Gas Chamber for Asthma Patients

New Delhi: On Sunday night when pollution in the National Capital Region reached a year-high, 14-year-old Pranav, an asthma patient, faced some life-threatening moments as he gasped for breath and had to use an inhaler urgently. Pranav was lucky that his parents have air filters in their house, giving him a little respite from the hazardous atmosphere outside, but many others who are not as lucky are struggling to breathe as pollutants float in the skies of Delhi and its neighbouring areas. Akshita, who is a resident of Mundka in West Delhi, has to travel every day to reach her college in Nehru Nagar area of south Delhi. (IANS)
