On Saturday morning, a day before Diwali, Delhi’s air quality was reported as ‘very poor’ with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 364‑366 across the city. Central Pollution Control Board data showed the 24‑hour average AQI at 366, while 22 of 59 monitoring stations logged ‘severe’ levels in the 401‑500 range. Despite GRAP Stage III curbs and stricter pollution‑control steps, several areas still recorded severe pollution. The Supreme Court has identified vehicular emissions as a major contributor, and opposition parties have criticised the government for the persistently severe pollution levels.
