Central Pollution Control Board data recorded Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) in various areas as ‘Poor’ on Sunday. Despite rainfall, air quality improvement remained limited, with AQI figures ranging between 227 to 266 in Anand Vihar, RK Puram, Punjabi Bagh, and ITO areas. Officials are scrutinizing incoming vehicles under pollution control regulations. The government delayed the odd-even car scheme. Though some improvement in pollution levels occurred after rainfall, citizens still experience breathing issues. Anti-pollution measures continue, including considerations for ‘artificial rain.’ As the city confronts hazardous air quality, ongoing efforts are aimed at curbing pollution, while the Graded Response Action Plan’s Stage IV is in force. The Supreme Court has urged an immediate halt to crop residue burning in neighboring states.
