Wind-blown Capital logs cleanest air since Sept '24
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|March 07, 2025
Strong, cold winds swept through Delhi on Wednesday, giving the city its cleanest air since September and slashing temperatures throughout the day.
NEW DELHI:
Pollution levels dropped for a sixth consecutive day, with the city clocking an air quality index (AQI) of 119—at the lower end of the "moderate" category—the Capital's best air since a "satisfactory" AQI of 76 on September 29, 2024, according to the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB's) daily bulletin.
The strong winds will recede from Thursday and subsequently lead to an increase in the minimum and maximum temperatures, said the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The AQI was 148 ("moderate") on Tuesday, 156 on Monday, 125 on Sunday, 126 on Saturday and 121 on Friday. Delhi's satellite cities also clocked improved air quality: Noida recorded an AQI of 98 ("satisfactory"), Greater Noida logged an AQI of 149 ("moderate"), and Gurugram recorded an AQI of 145 ("moderate") on Wednesday.
