		</div><p>A health emergency has been declared in India’s capital by an expert panel due to air pollution choking the city, with authorities ordering schools closed until November 5.</p>
<p>The Supreme Court-appointed panel is also temporarily banning construction activity in the New Delhi region to control the dust in the air.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Air pollution in New Delhi generally peaks around November 1 due to a combination of smog from fireworks set off during a Hindu festival and smoke from the burning of agricultural fields in the neighbouring states blowing in.</p>
<p>The air quality index reading at the US embassy in New Delhi for pollution particles in the air reached nine times the recommended World Health Organisation level on Friday.</p>

<p>At such levels, people are advised to avoid all outdoor exertion due to the health risks.</p>
<p>New Delhi’s top elected official Arvind Kejriwal has already announced a plan to restrict the movement of private cars in the capital for nearly two weeks, beginning on Monday.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Private cars running on petrol and diesel will be allowed in New Delhi only on alternate days from November 4 to 15, depending on whether they have even or odd numbered plates.</p>
<p>Mr Kejriwal said similar restrictions in 2016 reduced air pollution up to 13%.</p>
<p>On Friday, he distributed free masks to groups of young children in the Indian capital.</p>
<p>Last month, Mr Kejriwal announced plans to sweep roads mechanically, plant trees and control pollution at 12 hotspots in the city.</p>
<p>India is home to many of the world’s most polluted cities.</p>
