Center-Right Owned by HT Media Ltd.Delhi AQI crosses 400 on Diwali: Firecrackers push air quality into ‘severe’ zone as thick smog blankets city
What's behind this
Delhi’s air quality has deteriorated, prompting a clash between the BJP and AAP over Punjab stubble burning. Several Delhi neighbourhoods recorded AQI values above 350, and GRAP Stage 3 restrictions remained in force, leaving the capital ranked eleventh after Panchgaon, which posted an AQI of 365. Earlier reports linked the severe pollution to a sharp rise in Punjab stubble burning around Diwali and noted that air quality stayed very poor with only limited improvement after the festival. A separate report mentioned a brief improvement to “poor” levels due to increased wind speed, but the current situation is worsening.
