There was hope that the air quality index would improve after Diwali. However, on the contrary, the air quality index (AQI) in Delhi is continuously falling. The air quality index (AQI) in Delhi has once again reached dangerous levels while a thick blanket of smog is covering many areas.
Truck-mounted water sprinklers have been deployed as the skyline of the national capital remains engulfed in smog during the morning and night hours. The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP-2) restrictions are currently in place for the National Capital Region.
Delhi residents are grappling with the double whammy of mild cold and pollution. Light fog was observed in many areas on Sunday morning. Today’s minimum temperature is expected to be 17 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is expected to be 21 degrees Celsius. Due to the falling temperatures, a mild chill is being felt in Delhi in the mornings and evenings. Meanwhile, pollution has also added to people’s problems.
