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.
