India's capital Delhi is blanketed in toxic smog every autumn, but the pollution is already so bad that it's drawn protests as authorities tell students to stay home.

Authorities in India are investigating a deadly blast near a busy metro station in New Delhi. The explosion late Monday near the historic Red Fort killed at least eight people and injured several others.

The move follows a weekend protest where police detained dozens of people demanding cleaner air, a rare public demonstration against pollution in the Indian capital.
