As monsoon rains sweep across large parts of northern India, the impact has been a mix of relief and devastation.

While Delhi-NCR is enjoying its cleanest July air in over a decade, thanks to consistent rainfall, neighbouring states like Madhya Pradesh and. Rajasthan are grappling with flood-like conditions, casualties, and rescue operations.

Continuous rainfall in the Delhi-NCR region has offered respite from the sweltering summer heat and led to a dramatic improvement in air quality. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the Air Quality Index ‘AQI) has dropped below 50 in many areas — categorised as “very good.”
