The Lallantop Show, Episode no. 1907| 18 December 2025
In today’s LT show, Kuldeep is discussing the following news
Delhi-NCR is gasping under hazardous air quality levels that have soared into the severe category, forcing stringent GRAP-IV measures and disrupting daily life across North India. Flights are delayed, schools have shifted to hybrid mode, and construction activity has ground to a halt. The crisis even claimed a high-profile casualty when yesterday’s T20I match in Lucknow between India and South Africa was abandoned due to poor visibility and toxic air, leaving fans furious and demanding refunds.
