Accusations that Narendra Modi’s government is failing to take the crisis seriously were further fuelled on Tuesday when the environment minister, Harsh Vardhan, urged residents to remain calm, saying only “routine precautions” were needed, even though air quality levels remain “severe”.

周二，环保部长哈什•瓦德汉恳求居民保持冷静，表示尽管空气质量依然“很糟”，但只需要采取“常规的预防措施”。这一言论进一步激起人们对莫迪政府没有认真对待这次危机的谴责。

The city authorities had engaged a state-owned helicopter company to spray water over Delhi in the hope of settling the thick haze of pollutants. But on Monday administrators were told they would be unable to help dissipate the smog until the smog itself had cleared.

德里市政府请一家国有直升机公司在德里上空洒水，希望可以借此解决雾霾问题。但是本周一，市政府官员被告知，该公司必须等到雾霾散开才能出动直升机来清除污染物。

“Right now, with the prevailing smog, it is not possible for the helicopters to carry out operations,” the chairman and managing director of the company, BP Sharma, told the Indian Express. “We have communicated the same to the Delhi government. There was a meeting regarding this on Monday.”

“现在有雾霾，所以直升机是不可能执行任务的”，该公司的董事长兼总经理BP•夏玛告诉《印度快报》说，“我们已经把相同的信息传达给了德里政府。周一我们就此开了个会。”
