Up in Smoke

Delhi's pollution has cast a shadow on the earnings of migrant workers who travel to the city every year during the festival season to sell bamboo Ravan effigies. However, this year, many effigies remain unsold owing to rising pollution in the capital and restrictions on burning effigies. This means, the workers can't go back home as they have not made enough money during the festivities.
