In Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal, air pollution has slashed visibility to just 50 meters, raising safety and health concerns.
Bhopal has recorded an alarming drop in visibility, with air quality measurements indicating that the city’s viewable distance has fallen to a mere 50 meters.
The sharp decline has disrupted traffic flow on major roads and raised alarms among residents about potential health risks associated with high particulate matter.
Experts attribute the spike to a combination of industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust, and seasonal dust, which have converged to create a dense smog layer over the city.
Local authorities have urged commuters to stay indoors and are reportedly deploying additional monitoring stations to track the pollution trend.
