The air quality index continued to fluctuate between the "severe" and "very poor" categories in Delhi. The city's 24-hour average air quality index, recorded until 4 pm on Sunday, was 318 (very poor),

The Centre's Decision Support System (DSS) for Air Quality Management estimated that vehicular emissions contributed 18.1 per cent to Delhi's pollution on Sunday. Stubble burning, another major factor, accounted for 19 per cent of Delhi's pollution on Saturday.

Delhi continued to reel under "very poor" air quality and pollution woes as a layer of smog covered the city. On Sunday, the city recorded an Air Quality Index of 362, according to the Central Pollution Control Board.

The air quality index (AQI) in Delhi NCR sees a temporary improvement from 'very poor' to 'poor', but predictions suggest a return to 'very poor' conditions due to changing weather patterns and potential fog.

Delhi’s air quality has deteriorated to severe levels, forcing Noida schools to operate online until November 27. The District Inspector of Schools confirmed the suspension of physical classes due to hazardous AQI readings.

The air quality (AQI) was recorded to be at 362 at 8 am today (November 24) , offering minimal relief to the residents.

Whatever the causes of the smog, by one ranking Delhi was not just the most polluted city in the world, but “nearly five times as bad as the second most polluted city, Dhaka,” in Bangladesh next door, as Shashi Tharoor, a leader of the opposition in Parliament and best-selling author, posted on X.

Delhi's air quality stayed above 300 throughout November, with the air quality under 'very poor', 'severe' and 'severe plus' categories.

People of Delhi on Sunday heaved a sigh of relief as the average Air Quality Index (AQI) witnessed a notable drop by 94 points but still remaining in 'very poor' category.
