Virat Kohli Appeals To Delhi Residents - Act Now Before Pollution Levels Rise Beyond Our Control
The Delhi smog has been making life difficult for the people recently.
Even as the Delhi smog continues to hamper daily life, India's Test skipper Virat Kohli has come out with a message for the people.

In a video posted on his social media accounts, Virat Kohli said, "The pollution levels in Delhi are just horrible at the moment. Schools are getting closed, sports events are getting called off, a few cricket games have been called off. It's a situation which is only getting worse by the day.
He added that it was necessary to act now before the levels got out of hand.
"If we don't act (now), there are going to be massive problems in the future; the kids are going to suffer from diseases. So look after your family members, look after your children, whose future(s) depends on how we look after the current situation," he said.

"It's my humble request (to residents of Delhi) to act in an appropriate manner. Be aware, be more sensible, be more intelligent and not do things which are harming the environment even more. Let's get together Delhiites, and let's start making a difference because it's very, very important."
It's a nice gesture from Kohli as he shows genuine concern for his city. Even Ranji Trophy matches had to be cancelled as the players could hardly see ahead of them. Hopefully, the Delhi people will rally and get through this tough time.
Kohli is currently with the Indian team in Rajkot where he will lead in the first Test against England on November 9.
Please be more aware. The future depends on how we act now. It's heartbreaking to see the pollution levels rise so high pic.twitter.com/s1cZcRcS5C
