This is a low-effort article trying to use politics as a click-bait title.
>India is trying to follow this example in and around Delhi. In 2021 it launched a pollution-control agency, called the Commission for Air Quality Management (caqm), with responsibility for a 55,000-square-km area, encompassing the capital and parts of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh...Though many have criticised the CAQM’s pace of progress, the early results are promising.
That's about the only news in the article.
>South Asia’s filthy air
This is the tag associated with the article. When will these haughty sounding articles end, and when some article is written there is more substance to it. There isn't even an author attached to this article. This is one of the reasons these western publications have very low readability and confidence in non-western countries even though they do well in western countries (where quality of articles are much better).

- telchior 4y agoCriticisms aside, not having an author byline is an intentional thing the Economist has done since its founding. The article tag that you're correctly pointing out is haughty is also standard for them; they're haughty about everything, not just foreign countries.
