Center-Right Owned by HT Media Ltd.Delhi Chokes on ‘Very Poor’ Air After Cleanest October in Years
What's behind this
Delhi is experiencing severe smog ahead of Diwali, with the city’s air staying in the ‘very poor’ band for a third straight day. The AQI reached 369 and twenty monitoring stations moved into the ‘severe’ category, with PM2.5 identified as the main pollutant. The smog resurgence is linked to stubble burning in Punjab, where over 2,000 farm fires have been recorded, sparking a political war and criticism of the AAP. Earlier reports noted Delhi’s air quality nearing a hazardous mark of 399 and the NCR being blanketed by smog amid the political row over farm fires.
