Netizens reacted to Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dr Harsh Vardhan's tweet where he advises the citizens to eat carrots to get Vitamin A and fight pollution-related harm. The Minister's tweet came on a day when the pollution levels in the National Capital broke all records and pictures posted by citizens showed a very thick yellow haze all across the city.
The Minister posted the tweet even as a Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority declared a 'public health emergency'. The netizens were not in a mood for the tweet advising them to eat carrots and reacted heavily.

Yeah tell that to the rickshaw puller out on the street 24x7! To the millions whose home is the pavement. To those who have to be on the streets to earn 2 rotis, that stop eating rotis, use that money to buy one carrot. And then tag the tweet to Trump as well!!

On November 4, the Supreme Court passed multiple orders in order to tackle the rising pollution and also cracked down on various governments for not doing enough to tackle pollution. The orders passed by the Supreme Court are:
- No demolition or construction to take place in Delhi. If there is a violation, local administration would be held personally liable. Rs. 1 lakh fine on any person indulging in any demolition or construction in Delhi.
- Delhi govt and other bodies to work in tandem to tackle garbage.
- EPCA to take steps to prevent the entry of vehicles.
- All coal-based industries within Delhi to be stopped
- On Odd-Even scheme, Delhi govt to file its response citing data based on the previous exercise, on stopping of private cars as against allowing 2&3 wheelers and taxis.
- Chief Secretaries of Punjab, Haryana and UP to appear on Wednesday to explain inaction.
