Delhi, officially the National Capital Territory of Delhi, is a megacity and a union territory of India containing New Delhi, the capital of India. We have decided that is no longer its problem.

Smog Capital Grandeur
"Where History Chokes You Up (Literally)"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing the Qutub Minar rising through a haze of smog, flanked by two rampant auto-rickshaws locked in permanent battle for the same lane, beneath a banner reading 'Honk If You Love Me' in Comic Sans.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Visited the Red Fort and Humayun's Tomb which were genuinely breathtaking, though 'breathtaking' also describes the AQI on a Tuesday afternoon. Traffic near Connaught Place is a full contact sport and my auto-rickshaw driver deserves a medal from the Olympic committee. The street food in Chandni Chowk was incredible enough that I forgave the two hour queue at immigration and the fact my hotel window looked directly onto a flyover. Would return, mask in hand."— Barry Fennimore, Droitwich Spa

Supporting Evidence
Delhi has been continuously inhabited and rebuilt as a capital city at least seven times by different empires, making its traffic congestion arguably the most historically layered in the world.
