Less pollution this year on Diwali than last year: CM
The Daily Guardian
|October 23, 2025
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday said air pollution in the city on Diwali night was less this year as compared to the previous year.
Her assertion came a day after monitoring stations showed that Delhi's air pollution hit a four-year high on Diwali, with particulate matter 2.5 peaking at 675.
The chief minister said she will meet a Punjab minister on Thursday to inform the state government about Delhi’s concerns over crop residue burning, a major cause of pollution in the national capital during winters.
“The preand post-Diwali gap (between average AQI) this year is less compared to the previous year, even though firecrackers were allowed this time,” Gupta said at a press conference.
