Guess what time it is in Delhi? #delhirains #NOFILTER inclement weather will only lead to more people falling sick.

A Twitter user quoted the pollution index and explained how the rains affected the air pollution, "This doesn’t mean the pollution production has reduced, only the existing pollution has been watered down."
