Due to the continuous increase in air pollution, the air is becoming increasingly toxic in Delhi as well as NCR cities. The situation which worsened in Delhi-NCR from the day of Diwali is not taking the name of improvement. Apart from the bursting of crackers and burning of stubble, weather conditions are also being blamed for this.
Air pollution situation serious in many areas
According to the latest data from SAFAR (Systems of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research), the air quality index in many areas of Delhi-NCR has reached the severe category, while in some areas the AQI is in the very poor category.
The area around DU is the most polluted
According to SAFAR, the air pollution in Delhi-NCR is currently in the very severe category. If we look at the data, the Air Quality Index around Delhi University is 355, while near Mathura Road, AQ3 40 was recorded.

At the same time, the condition of the cities of NCR is also not good. After Gurugram, Ghaziabad, the situation in Noida is even worse. According to SAFAR data, the air pollution in Noida is close to the severe category and the AQI has been recorded at 392.

Delhi-NCR in the red zone
Pollution may not have affected much on Diwali much this year as compared to seven-eight years, but now is the time for a 'breathing emergency' in Delhi-NCR. The air has become poisonous and Delhi-NCR has reached the red zone. On Friday, Ghaziabad remained the most polluted city in the country for the second consecutive day, while Noida stood second and Greater Noida third.
According to experts, the weather conditions have also started turning unfavorable. Delhi's AQI stood at 357 on Friday, while seven areas of the capital-Anand Vihar, Wazirpur, Vivek Vihar, Shadipur, Bawana, Jahangirpuri, and Narela reached above 400 in the severe category on Friday.
