New Delhi Traffic Police data shows there are now 3.3 million cars, trucks, buses and scooters plying the city's streets. In 1980, there were barely more than 500,000. Environment ministry officials blame the worsening air quality on a sharp rise in vehicles, which they believe account for more than half of the city's pollution woes.
