This footage captures a typical winter morning at Central Secretariat, New Delhi, where dense smog blankets the city as daily life continues uninterrupted. Filmed near the President’s House (Rashtrapati Bhavan), the visuals showcase the power capital of India waking up under layers of cold air and pollution. Cars, buses, auto-rickshaws, and two-wheelers move steadily through the streets, reflecting the resilience and routine of urban life despite poor air quality. The muted tones created by smog reduce visibility, softening the skyline while amplifying the seriousness of air pollution in one of the world’s busiest capitals. This video documents the intersection of governance, urban mobility, climate conditions, and public health, offering a realistic portrayal of winter mornings in Delhi.
