Posted on 22nd Nov 2023 09:47 am by rohit kumar

The air quality in the country's capital Delhi is worsening. Due to this, the people of Delhi are in trouble. Along with cold winds blowing from north-western directions in Delhi-NCR, stubble smoke is also coming from neighboring states. Additionally, local factors are exacerbating the situation. In such a situation, there is no hope of relief from the increasing level of pollution in the capital for the next six days.

 

According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality index (AQI) across Delhi has reached the 'severe' category in many areas. AQI has been recorded at 405 in Ashok Vihar, 428 in Jahangirpuri, 404 in Major Dhyanchand National Stadium, and 403 in Dwarka Sector 8.

The wind speed will be up to four km per hour during the day while the wind will remain calm during the evening and night. Pollution levels are expected to increase due to the weakening of wind flow.
