Severe air pollution and traffic movement in Fatehpur Beri during heavy winter smog conditions in the Delhi-NCR region. This footage captures commuters travelling through dense smog along a road with extremely reduced visibility. Motorcyclists with headlights switched on move cautiously alongside cars partially obscured by the thick grey haze covering the area. A large tractor-mounted water tanker is also visible on the roadside, likely being used for dust suppression or anti-smog operations aimed at reducing airborne particulate matter. Such scenes are common across Delhi during winter months when low temperatures, vehicle emissions, construction dust, and atmospheric conditions contribute to hazardous air quality levels throughout the city.
