What's behind this
On Deepavali night, several government monitoring stations in Delhi failed to report hourly PM2.5 data, a lapse that analysts say can artificially lower the Air Quality Index and mask the true severity of pollution. In the days after the festival, the Air Quality Index in Delhi and parts of Haryana, Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh rose above 350, the highest levels recorded in Delhi since 2021, indicating poor air quality across north India. Health experts have warned that the deteriorating air quality poses risks, with reports of symptoms even among healthy individuals.
