Number two, now they're asking or ordering government and private offices to limit the number of staff coming to work so that 50% can work from home so that they don't have to bring their own cars or other means of transport to come into the city.

And the construction activities have already been suspended in and around the city.

And also classes for school children moved to online, partially like a hybrid example.

But this is not going to reduce the pollution problem because this is winter, this is an annual problem.

But the dense air traps all the pollutants and also there is a change in wind direction and also the humidity level.

That is trapping these pollutants and that is why you see a surge in terms of pollution level in the past week, really worrying many residents of Delhi.

Even many people leave Delhi and go to places like Goa or to the south to escape this period because the children are really suffering.

If you look at the figures given by the Pakistani military, the numbers do not add up. We're talking about 440 passengers. The suspicion is that many of the militants could have escaped, taking some hostages with them.

And that's why the military spokesperson was saying they're also doing another operation or searching for any of the militants or people who had just simply jumped out of the train and escaped from the militants hiding in the mountains without knowing what to do. So there is some confusion about the numbers.

But it has come as a big relief for the Pakistani military as well as for the government because it was a very embarrassing situation for the military, despite having one of the largest military forts. Now, a group of militants had managed to hijack an entire train. This was an unprecedented move by the Baloch rebels, taking hundreds of people hostage.

So there will be questions asked how this was allowed to happen. But this also shows how the Baloch rebels are increasingly targeting higher value targets in the past few months.

This strategic location itself is a big advantage for the rebels because they knew this was a mountainous area and there were lots of tunnels. Even to send reinforcements would have taken a long time for the military. It would have taken hours. If the nearest road is 14 kilometres, either they should have walked... or they should have been airdropped.

That's why they used special forces and helicopters and drones targeting these militants. Now, what this means for the Pakistani military is it's just already facing another insurgency in the northwest of the country bordering Afghanistan. Now, this attack will give more publicity for the rebels.

If the military goes against the rebels, if they launch any strong high-ended military operation, that could further alienate the Baloch ethnic community in the province, and that is the danger.
