This photo taken on October 16, 2017 shows paddy crop stubble smouldering in a field in Sonipat in the northern Indian state of Haryana. As Hindus across India celebrate Diwali this week, scientists fear a ban on firecrackers and other emergency anti-pollution measures deployed by authorities may not be enough to prevent a repeat of last year's 'airpocalypse' in Delhi. On the city's outskirts however, farmers are busy burning crop residue to clear their land before the new harvest and the acrid smoke has already begun to drift south, casting a pall over the world's most polluted capital and leaving millions gasping for breath.
