AQI 'severe' again as wind speed & temperature drop

Order issued to ensure implementation of curbs on polluting vehicles

- 

AIR quality in the capital stood in the "severe" category on Saturday morning with monitoring agencies pinning hopes on a western disturbance which may improve meteorological conditions starting Sunday.

It would be the 11th severe air day in November in Delhi if the average air quality index remains above the 400-mark till the end of the day.

Delhi recorded just three severe air quality days in November last year, while there were 12 such days in 2021, the maximum in the month since Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) began monitoring.
