Delhi air quality improves slightly but stays 'poor'

Delhi witnessed a marginal improvement in air quality on Wednesday morning, offering slight relief to residents, even as pollution levels remained firmly in the ‘poor’ category.

According to data from the Sameer app, the national capital’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) dropped to 269, improving from



310 on Tuesday. Despite the decline, the air quality remained far from satisfactory, and much of the city stayed enveloped in a visible smog layer.

Official monitoring showed that 28 stations across Delhi recorded air quality in the ‘poor’ range, while nine stations remained in the 'very poor' category.
