Delhi Gasps for Breath: Toxic Air Engulfs NCR Ahead of Diwali, AQI in 'Very Poor' Zone | India Today

This special report focuses on the deteriorating air quality in Delhi-NCR, where the Air Quality Index (AQI) has entered the ‘poor’ category, with several pollution hotspots like Anand Vihar, Bawana, and Jahangirpuri crossing the 300 mark. According to the reporter on the ground, when the unfavourable climatic conditions are connected with the pollution problem, ‘it’s actually a very dangerous cocktail’. With Diwali approaching, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data reveals a concerning spike in pollutants, posing significant health risks, especially for children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. The situation serves as an alarm bell for authorities to intensify measures as the capital braces for what could be another season of severe air pollution, prompting experts to advise residents to reduce outdoor activities.
