Earlier, on Monday, the capital experienced a brief improvement in air quality, with levels moving into the “moderate” category following significant rainfall over the weekend. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Tuesday informed that Delhi recorded highest number of ‘Good to Moderate’ Air Quality Days, i.e. 209 such days in 2024, barring COVID Year – 2020.
