New Delhi: Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed concern over the rising levels of air pollution in North India, saying each and every individual is responsible for the present scenario. A public health emergency has been declared in Delhi-NCR region in the backdrop of depleting air quality, where the air quality index (AQI) has breached the severe+ category.

In a video uploaded on his official Twitter handle, Harbhajan said, "I want to speak about the pollution in the North India. We all are a cause for it, including me. "We drive cars and burn fuel and cause harm to the environment. We have learnt over the last few years that fodder burning also causes a lot of pollution." "It is harmful for every child anyone residing in those areas. We have also learnt that our life expectancy will reduce by 7-10 years if we continue with such practices, so we need to act," he added.
