How can Delhi finally end chronic air pollution?

To achieve a permanent solution, the article calls for a fundamental shift, including a rapid transition to electric vehicles and clean public transport, strict enforcement of emission standards for industries and power plants, sustainable management of construction and waste, and year-round policy action rather than just emergency responses during peak winter months. The conclusion stresses that ending the crisis requires unwavering political will, substantial investment, and coordinated action across all levels of government and society.
