             Why do not lichens occur in Delhi, whereas they commonly grow in Manali or Darjeelinq?

    Answer:

                    Lichens are bio indicators of air pollution. They are sensitive to sulphur dioxide (SO^) pollution in air from automobiles.                                  Delhi has maximum air pollution due to a large number of vehicles compared to Manali and Darjeeling. Therefore, the growth of lichens cannot occur in Delhi or any place, where air pollution is high.
