Varun Dhawan, who is in the capital city of India, New Delhi has posted a selfie of himself wearing a 'mask'. New Delhi has been engulfed in smog. A combination of smoke from stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana and moisture turned Delhi into a 'gas chamber' yesterday, prompting authorities to announce a series of preventive measures including a four-fold hike in parking fees and slashing of metro fares. The smog brought down visibility levels, affecting flight and train operations.


The heavy air permeated living rooms and even the underground metro stations in the city making it difficult to breathe, turning eyes watery. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has announced that primary schools in the national capital will remain closed today. Schools have been asked to stop outdoor activities. The air quality index was in the 'severe', with a score of 448 in a scale of 500, category for the second time this year. Varun Dhawan has wrote a long post on his Instagram account about the harmful effects of air pollution and is urging people to go green.


Previously, cricketer Virat Kohli had also posted a video talking about the ill-effects of smoke pollution in New Delhi and had also urged people to take better care of the environment.
