Delhi's air quality has worsened, with the AQI at ITO crossing 450 and several localities falling into the severe pollution category.
Delhi's air quality has reached alarming levels as the AQI at ITO exceeded 450, the highest recorded in recent weeks.
The Central Pollution Control Board reported that multiple districts, including parts of South Delhi and East Delhi, now fall under the severe pollution category.
The spike is attributed to a combination of vehicular emissions, construction dust, and stagnant weather conditions that have trapped pollutants over the city.
Health officials have urged residents to limit outdoor activities and use masks, while the Delhi government has announced plans to increase green cover and enforce stricter emission norms.
