Delhi’s air quality deteriorated across several areas

Delhi’s air quality deteriorated once again on Saturday after showing signs of improvement earlier in the week, as several parts of the national capital slipped back into the ‘very poor’ and ‘severe’ pollution categories.

Large sections of the city were engulfed in thick smog during the morning hours, resulting in reduced visibility and discomfort for residents.

Data



released by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) showed that air quality levels varied sharply across different locations.

In the Dhaula Kuan area, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 252, placing it in the ‘poor’ category.

Pollution levels were far worse in Akshardham and Anand Vihar, where the AQI touched 410, pushing both areas into the ‘severe’ category.
