NEW DELHI, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- India's environmental officials planned an emergency meeting as a thick blanket of smog continued to cover New Delhi on Saturday, one day after nearly 2,000 public schools were closed from unprecedented air pollution levels.
Environmental ministers will meet Monday to discuss the air pollution in New Delhi, the worst in 17 years produced from a combination of smoke from Diwali festival fireworks, dust and vehicle emissions.
