Authorities in India ’s capital shut schools, halted construction and banned non-essential trucks from entering the city.

Deadly haze covered monuments and high-rise buildings in the capital, with visibility so low that airlines warned of delays.

In several areas of the city, pollution levels were more than 50 times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended safe limit.

Forecasts say the poor air quality will continue into the week .
