377 TEAMS TO ENFORCE FIRECRACKER BAN

Delhi's AQI remains 'poor' ahead of Diwali

NEW DELHI: With Diwali just around the corner, Delhi's air quality continued to hover in the 'poor' category on Tuesday, recording an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 268, a marginal improvement from 304 on Monday, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

The fluctuation in air quality has been attributed to variable wind patterns, which have prevented the air from clearing significantly.

imageDelhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has intensified efforts to curb pollution caused by firecrackers, which further deteriorate air quality, especially around the festive season. He announced that 19,005 kg of firecrackers had been seized across the capital in recent raids, resulting in 79 cases being registered against those violating the firecracker ban.
