Even though NASA satellites have captured images of massive summer crop residue burning in Punjab and Haryana over the past few days, experts said that it shouldn’t be of much worry to Delhi, as present wind patterns won’t allow the pollutants to converge over the city.

Innumerable red dots appearing over Haryana and Punjab, as seen in the US space agency’s Fire Mapper, on Thursday set alarm bells ringing and brought back memories of a smog-filled 2016 that made Delhi one of the most polluted cities in the world.
