Over 40 per cent residents of Delhi and NCR want to move to another city because of bad air quality while 16 per cent want to travel during the period when air quality drops, according to a new survey.

Over 40 per cent residents said they would like to leave Delhi NCR and move somewhere else, while 31 per cent said they would stay in Delhi NCR and equip themselves with air purifiers, masks and use plants, according to findings of the survey done by online platform LocalCircles.
While 16 per cent said they would stay in Delhi NCR but travel during this period of toxic pollution, 13 per cent said they would stay here and cope with rising pollution levels, it added.
When asked, how the pollution affected them and their family in the past week, 13 per cent respondents said one or more of them have visited a hospital already while 29 per cent said one or more of them have visited a doctor already.
Over 44 per cent said they were having pollution-related health problems but have not visited a doctor or hospital and only 14 per cent said they have not felt the impact of pollution on their health, according to the survey.
The air quality in Delhi remained under ‘severe category’ despite some parts of the city receiving rain on Sunday morning.
