AAP Accuses Delhi Govt of Manipulating Air Quality Data via Water Spraying

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a sharp attack on the Delhi government, accusing it of deliberately manipulating air quality data to present a false picture of the capital's environmental health. The opposition party claims that officials are spraying water on air quality monitoring stations to artificially lower the recorded Air Quality Index (AQI) figures.

In a statement released last week, AAP leaders alleged that this practice amounts to "fudging" critical environmental data. The party emphasized that such manipulation is not merely an act of administrative corruption but poses a direct threat to public health, as it obscures the true severity of pollution levels in Delhi.

By downplaying the AQI readings, the AAP argues that the government is failing to protect citizens from hazardous air conditions. The party has called for an immediate investigation into the alleged tampering of environmental data to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of air quality in the National Capital Territory.
