A suffocating haze of toxic smog in New Delhi will prevent Charlotte de Witte from performing as the city cracks down to halt further environmental damage.
The techno superstar’s Sunburn Arena performance, which was scheduled for this weekend, has officially been cancelled as the city grapples with the toxic air conditions.
“The show in Delhi on Saturday sadly can’t take place. Due to a severe case of air pollution, the government is not allowing any big events to happen,” de Witte wrote on Instagram. “I’m very sorry i won’t be able to be with you this weekend. I’m hoping to be able to give you the show you deserve in the future, in safer conditions.”
The air pollution in India’s capital is at its most hazardous this season, with the lethal fog enveloping the city at a staggering “50 times the safe limit,” according to an AP report. Life in India’s capital is drastically changing due to the noxious conditions as the city has reportedly taken action to close schools, ban “non-essential” trucks and diesel vehicles, stop construction projects and encourage residents to stay indoors.
At the time of this writing, de Witte will still perform in Bangalore and Mumbai as planned on November 22nd and 24th, respectively.
