Delhi is still struggling with dangerous air quality; several locations have “Severe” AQIs

Residents of Delhi are still suffering greatly from the dangerously high levels of pollution in the air, with numerous parts of the capital falling into the “Severe” category. As to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), on Tuesday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) indicated values of ‘Severe’ across many regions. The recorded AQI values at 7:00 am were 332 in Jahangirpuri, 315 in Ashok Vihar, 307 in ITO Delhi, and 340 in Anand Vihar. Although Delhi residents’ see a little reduction in pollution, the state of the air is still rated as “Severe.”

Based on data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), some parts of Delhi had an Air Quality Index (AQI) in the ‘very bad’ category as of Tuesday morning. Although Sunday’s moderate rains helped to ease the situation somewhat, Delhi has been experiencing intermittent “severe” and “very poor” air quality in recent weeks. Residents of Delhi, who continue to be concerned about air pollution, were grateful for the respite that the rain brought. Gopal Rai, the city’s environment minister, stressed the need to strictly implement GRAP-1 and 2 in order to address air quality issues when he announced the lifting of GRAP-3 last week.
