New Delhi, October 20 

Smoke from bursting of crackers has not only affected the air quality but also the lungs and hearts of many people in Delhi with a 15 per cent rise in the number of patients visiting AIIMS due to cardio-pulmonary problems.

Night-long Diwali revelries left the capital city polluted this morning, as the air quality took a sharp plunge and entered the 'severe' zone, triggering health complications.

At the AIIMS, there was a rush of patients, complaining of heart and breathing problems, as compared to the average number of people visiting the facility before the festival, doctors said.—PTI
