Delhi's Dirty Air Secret: Are Pollution Numbers Being Faked? | Delhi Air Pollution | India Today

On this special report, Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor investigates allegations of air pollution data manipulation in Delhi. Environmentalist Bhavreen states, ‘It’s a, you know, a game of numbers, you know, it’s become a game of numbers to just reduce.’ The investigation, spanning four key locations—Anand Vihar, ITO, Lodhi Road, and JLN Stadium—uncovers significant discrepancies between government AQI figures and independent readings. The findings reveal that tactics like sprinkling water near monitoring stations may cause a temporary but sharp dip in pollution numbers. The report also highlights defunct or non-functional display monitors in crucial areas, including the elite Lodhi Road, raising serious questions about data transparency. These ground truths emerge as the Supreme Court takes notice, questioning authorities about defunct monitoring systems and demanding a clear action plan.
