Air pollution in Delhi at hazardous levels

Air pollution in Delhi has once again reached dangerous levels. The city recorded an average AQI of 318, which falls in the “hazardous” category. Dust, smoke, and fine particulate matter in the air have increased sharply, raising the risk of respiratory issues. Experts advise vulnerable groups - especially children, the elderly, and those with asthma—to take extra precautions.

To control the rising pollution, the Delhi government has intensified its measures. Water sprinkling on roads, dust-control operations, and strict vehicle pollution checks are being carried out across various areas. Authorities have urged citizens to limit outdoor activities until air quality improves.
