What's behind this
Air quality across several Indian cities remains high, prompting health concerns and advice for residents to avoid outdoor exposure. In Delhi, at least 20 monitoring stations reported PM 2.5 levels in the ‘Severe’ (400+) category the morning after Deepavali, but the next day the city’s index fell to 299, placing it in the ‘poor’ category as winds dispersed pollutants. Mumbai’s AQI moved into the ‘unhealthy’ range, and other northern cities recorded ‘very poor’ (301‑400) air quality.
