A London-based techie has recently sparked a heated discussion after he asked individuals to ‘leave Delhi’ in a post on X. The Indian tech professional warned that the capital’s deteriorating air quality has become unbearable, calling it a crisis. “I used to think, how bad can the AQI really be for people in Delhi? I knew it was bad, but I never understood the scale because I didn’t feel it as drastically,” he wrote.
Indian Techie Calls The Situation In Delhi A ‘Crisis’
Kunal Kushwaha, a Senior Developer Advocate at CAST AI, shared his own story on social media, citing the alarming level of pollution in Delhi. “I grew up in Delhi, studied here, and never felt a huge difference. You see people on the streets without masks, just walking around, and even people going for morning runs. But I was wrong. It’s a crisis.”
‘Pack Your Bags, Leave The City’
The techie suggested that the people should leave the city for their own sake. “Please leave this city for your own sake. Buying a property here does not make sense either.” Not just Delhi, he advised people in Mumbai to relocate to a different place. “Same for Mumbai. If you can, pack your bags and move yourself and your work somewhere else. I’ve cut my trip short and I’m leaving this city tomorrow,” he added.

Techie Shares What He Felt After Landing In Delhi
The London-based Indian techie further claimed that the moment his flight touched down in Delhi, he could literally taste and smell pollution. “And honestly, leaving this city should be your top priority. After living in London for a few years and breathing clean air, the moment I landed in Delhi, I could literally taste and smell the pollution. Even AQI 200 hit me hard: sore throat, and a feeling like needles in my lungs. I could actually feel the pollution entering my body,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
