Delhi’s air quality has now reached the final index level, “severe plus,” making its residents susceptible to serious health issues. The national capital’s air quality index (AQI) was 454 on Sunday, prompting the federal government to take all necessary steps to prevent air pollution from hitting any new heights.
Real-time data indicates that the average AQI is currently 470, about 20 times higher than the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended threshold.

Premature burning of paddy straw in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab prior to the rabi crop season is thought to be one of the main causes of Delhi’s terrible air quality. Gopal Rai, the environment minister in Delhi, claims that stubble burning has affected the AQI only in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and not in Punjab.
