Delhi residents face another Diwali marred by toxic air, prompting the Commission for Air Quality Management to invoke stage 2 measures under the Graded Response Action Plan. The 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI) dipped to 296 (poor) at 4 pm, breaching the "very poor" threshold to touch
Air pollution
Delhi-NCR's Diwali festivities are marred by hazardous air quality, prompting the city to implement Stage 2 of the Graded Action Response Plan (Grap 2). The Air Quality Index (AQI) has entered the "very poor" category, with 24 out of 38 monitoring stations recording pollution levels in
Air pollution
Delhi-NCR's air quality has reached alarming levels, prompting the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to enforce Stage II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) crossed 300, raising health concerns for millions. The decision came after the GRAP Sub-Committee
