NEW DELHI — Hundreds of students marched Wednesday in India’s capital to demand action to improve the city’s toxic air. New Delhi has been wrapped in a choking haze for much of the past week. The smog did lift a little in time for the march at Nehru Park by students from 15 private schools. Environmentalist Vasu Primlani said she believes a series of low-cost initiatives could halve the city’s pollution problem within two years. And New Delhi was forced to abandon a plan to use water-spraying helicopters to cleanse the air, due to poor visibility caused by the smog.
