Top news of the day
The air quality in Delhi continues to deteriorate. On Saturday morning, 35 AQI monitoring stations in the capital issued a red alert, indicating that the air quality is at extremely dangerous levels. The AQI was recorded above 300 in many areas, while in some places it reached close to 380. This dire situation has further increased the concern of the government and environmental agencies. Snowfall in the mountains and falling temperatures in Delhi are further suppressing pollution, preventing its dispersion and keeping the air toxic.
These days, Delhi is facing the simultaneous impact of pollution and cold. Dense fog, light haze, and extremely slow winds in the early morning trap pollutants in the atmosphere, causing the AQI to reach the very poor category. According to the 'Sameer' app, at 6 am on Saturday, 35 areas in the city recorded AQIs above 300. The Meteorological Department says temperatures will continue to drop and fog may become denser in the coming days, further worsening air quality.
