Top news of the day
Voting for the by-elections to 12 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) began at 7:30 am on Saturday. Voting will continue until 5:30 pm for all seats. A total of 51 candidates are contesting in these by-elections, including 26 women. The results will be declared on December 3, and are considered crucial for both major political parties.
The main contest in this by-election is between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Following the BJP's strong performance in the assembly elections held earlier this year, this by-election has become a matter of prestige for both parties.
Delhi's air has once again become toxic. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in major areas like India Gate and Kartavya Path recorded 222, which falls in the 'poor' category. Meanwhile, the AQI in the ITO area reached 269, which is considered severe pollution. Data released by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has once again raised concerns among the residents of the capital.
The problem of air pollution in Delhi becomes severe every year with the arrival of winter. Vehicle exhaust, dust from construction sites, industrial pollution, and stubble burning in neighboring states cause air quality to deteriorate rapidly. This year too, a thick layer of smog lingered from tourist spots to government areas in the capital, clearly demonstrating the severity of the situation.
