The Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the Delhi administration is hiding air quality information, claiming that several monitoring stations have been shut down, leading to an AQI reading above 3,000.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has publicly accused the Delhi government of concealing air quality data, alleging that multiple monitoring stations have been shut down. According to AAP representatives, the closure of these stations has resulted in an alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) reading that reportedly exceeded 3,000.
The party claims that the Delhi administration has failed to provide transparent and accurate pollution data to the public, thereby undermining efforts to address the city’s severe air quality crisis. AAP has called for an independent audit of the monitoring network and immediate restoration of all stations.
Delhi officials have not yet released a formal response to the accusations. The incident has drawn attention to the ongoing debate over environmental accountability and the reliability of pollution monitoring in the capital.
