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.

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.

The Meteorological Department says temperatures will continue to drop and fog may become denser in the coming days, further worsening air quality.
