Delhi’s air quality continues to struggle, remaining in the ‘very poor’ category on Monday, despite a slight improvement from the previous day. The national capital’s average AQI stood at 304, with several areas experiencing hazardous levels. This deterioration is attributed to a sudden drop in wind speed, hindering the dispersal of pollutants.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has banned firecrackers in Delhi until January 1, 2025, aiming to combat air pollution. The city’s air quality currently sits in the ‘poor’ category with an AQI of 220, according to the CPCB.
