This special report focuses on the alarming rise in air pollution in Delhi and the NCR region following Diwali celebrations. Widespread bursting of firecrackers, in defiance of Supreme Court guidelines, has plunged the capital’s air quality into the ‘very poor’ and ‘severe’ categories, with reporter Amit Bharadwaj on the ground. A key question was raised for authorities and residents: ‘Do they do not have the right to breathe in clean air?’. The Delhi government has implemented Stage 2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) to combat the toxic smog. The bulletin breaks down the rapid deterioration of the Air Quality Index (AQI) and highlights the severe health risks posed by high levels of PM2.5 particles, which can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause significant respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
