Delhi’s air quality is rapidly deteriorating, with the average Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 293 on Friday. Many areas in the national capital are now classified as having ‘severe’ pollution levels, posing significant health risks to residents. Breathing difficulties are reported across the city due to the hazardous air conditions.
As of 9 AM on Friday, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reported that several parts of Delhi are experiencing AQI levels between 300 and 400. Notable areas include Wazirpur (379), Vivek Vihar (327), Shadipur (337), Rohini (362), and Punjabi Bagh (312), among others.
In the surrounding National Capital Region (NCR), air quality is also concerning, with Faridabad recording an AQI of 194, Gurugram at 196, Ghaziabad at 247, Greater Noida at 296, and Noida at 242.
In response to the worsening pollution, the Delhi government has activated GRAP-1 measures to combat the crisis. Approximately 200 anti-smog guns from the Public Works Department (PWD), along with additional units from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), NCR Transport Corporation (NCRTC), and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), will be deployed across the city.
Additionally, the Delhi government is urging citizens to refrain from burning crackers and to report any pollution-causing activities through the Green Delhi app. As the city grapples with this environmental challenge, residents are advised to take precautions to safeguard their health.
