December 2016 – In the winters of 2016, Delhi suffered an unprecedented air pollution crisis to the point that the air quality reduced the life expectancy of NCR citizens by more than 10 years, according to a report by Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC). Mass media for the first time brings the issue to public awareness leading to mass psychosis.
